Waitlist FAQ
If you received a waitlist decision, we believe you have the potential to succeed at University College Utrecht. However, due to the competitive nature of the applicant pool and our need to carefully manage the number of students enrolling, we are unable to admit all qualified candidates. It is our intention to admit students from the waitlist provided we have space available in the class.
No, we do not rank our waitlist. If space becomes available in the Fall 2024 cohort, we will extend offers to students based on the overall profile, strength of their application and materials on file, and their wish to remain active on the waitlist.
This is very difficult to predict. Our ability to make offers depends on the number of admitted students who enrol, which varies from year to year.
Your response using our Waitlist Response Form (available through Osiris) allows us to lessen the waiting period for applicants who remain interested in attending University College Utrecht. If at any point after confirming your position on the waitlist you are no longer interested, please inform us as soon as possible: ucu.admissions@uu.nl
In addition to confirming your waitlist position via our Waitlist Response Form, you are welcome to submit updated grades or transcripts via email: ucu.admissions@uu.nl
We do not encourage you to submit additional materials other than updated grades as, to ensure the fair treatment of all candidates, we will use your file with the materials originally included in your application.
Unfortunately, the financial aid procedure is closed and all scholarship awards for Fall 2024 will have been allocated.
Should there be room for us to admit additional students for the fall semester, we will notify students as soon as possible. We expect to be admitting applicants from the waitlist between June and late August 2024 as soon as places become available.
If you have to reserve your place at another institution by a specific date, you should do so since an offer of admission to University College Utrecht from the waitlist may not happen until late in the summer. If you are admitted from the University College Utrecht waitlist and choose to enrol, you will essentially forfeit your deposit at the other college (if a deposit was required).

When we offer admission to students on the waitlist, we do so to fill available spaces in the Fall cohort. As a result, deferrals are typically not granted to students admitted from the waitlist.
