Student athlete status
UCLL offers the necessary facilities and flexibility for students with the status of athlete to pursue their sport at the highest level while continuing with their studies.
Within UCLL, there are three types of athlete statuses: A, B and C. Each of these statuses entitles you to a number of facilities. Based on your application, the evaluation committee will grant you one of these statuses or deny the application. Students who have been awarded an A status will have more facilities at their disposal than students with a B or C status.
The subdivision into the various statuses is based on a number of criteria. These criteria have to do with the discipline, the number of training hours, the level of competition (national or international top), opportunities for growth to a successful international career, competition and training camp calendars, an evenly balanced programme or peak performance periods and the content and level of a ((semi-)professional) contract.
Facilities at your disposal depending on the status granted (A, B or C):
- Option to change class group
- Legitimate absence during mandatory classes or practical sessions
- Rescheduling or spreading internship activities
- Spreading of examinations inside (or outside) the examination period
The application process
To be entitled to tuition or examination facilities, you obviously have to apply to get your Student athlete status.
