Board of Examiners

Cases of Irregularities (including Fraud, Plagiarism, Forgery and Academic Outsourcing), non-compliance with the applicable Education and Examination Regulations (EER) or other academic requests, have to be reported to the Board of Examiners.
Cases can be reported via: MSM-examinationboard@maastrichtuniversity.nl. 

After receiving the reported case, the Board of Examiners investigates the case. The student will always be informed and be heard. All students have the opportunity to submit a written “motivated” reaction or a written “motivated” request within two (2) weeks. The student is requested to fill out a motivation form and to submit any supporting evidence. If applicable, the viewpoint and recommendation of the MSM Partner Institution and/or MSM Academic Coordinator will be asked. The supporting documents provided will be treated with extreme confidentiality, but could be shared with the Board of Examiners members and MSM Partner Institution and/or MSM Academic Coordinator, if necessary. Withholding information could have negative consequences for the final decision taken by the Board of Examiners.

Students are requested to inform MSM and the MSM Partner Institution about personal circumstances (distress) leading to non-compliance with the applicable Education and Examination Regulations (EER) as soon as they occur, by submitting a written “motivated” statement, including the supporting documents. In case of any personal circumstances, every effort should be made to discuss the matter in advance of the submission deadline or examination date or scheduled course etc..
