Additions

A student who does not meet the transition standards is eligible for consideration if raising one of the final grades by 1 point would meet the transition standards.

A student in 2 or 3 gymnasium who is rejected for 3 or 4 gymnasium can be promoted to 3 or 4 atheneum. For this, the final grades for the subjects Latin and Greek or classical languages do not count.

A student in 2 or 3 vwo who is rejected for 3 or 4 vwo may be promoted to 3 or 4 havo. The meeting may also decide that parents and student may choose between promotion to the havo department or doubling in the vwo department.

If a student from the havo department wishes to be promoted to the vwo department, the promotion meeting will decide on admission. The parent(s)/guardian(s) of the student in question may make their wish known in writing to the conrector of guidance.
