in de VU zine als in de roosteruitvraag aandacht besteed wordt/zal worden aan de start van het academisch jaar 2026 (en start van het academisch jaar 2027). In beide jaren kiest de VU ervoor om het onderwijs voor de eerstejaars bachelor, premaster en eerstejaars master
vanaf 1 september te laten starten en voor de hogerejaars studenten op respectievelijk maandag 31 augustus 2026 en maandag 30 augustus 2027. Onze onderwijsplanners gaan proberen dit zo min mogelijk invloed te laten hebben op het aantal geplande contacturen
in die eerste week. Jullie medewerking en die van vakcoördinatoren, die eerstejaarscolleges verzorgen, wordt hierbij gevraagd.</span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

het enorm als docenten ook beschikbaarheid aangeven in blok 1 en blok 5 en vooral ook op maandagen en vrijdagen. We verzoeken om per blok aan te geven of deze beschikbaar is voor het geven van onderwijs. Er zijn drie mogelijkheden: Beschikbaar, Liever niet

On the dashboard, you will see a task on the left-hand side, under the heading <i>Timetable requirements</i>. Courses for which the information is not entered or is entered too late (without notice) will be scheduled at the discretion of the education planner. Later adjustments
are not possible. The deadline is Friday 13 March. When booking your courses, keep in mind the policy agreements, these agreements are visible in the schedule request in UAS. If the course coordinator for a course is incorrect, please let the program coordinator
