Grading and Transfer of Credits

Students who participate in this exchange program will receive credit for all classes in which they receive a grade of C or better, or its equivalent.

The grades from the foreign law school will not appear on the students’ transcripts and not be included in the students’ GPA.

The assessment system in the Netherlands consists of marks from 1 (very poor) to 10 (outstanding). The marks 1 to 3, 9 and 10 are seldom given.

A minimum score of 6 is required to pass a course. For marks with one decimal point, 5.5 is the minimum pass mark.

For the program as a whole, an average mark of 8.25 or higher entitles the student to a pass cum laude (with distinction).

*The grades 1-3 are hardly ever awarded, and 9 and 10 are very rare.

Disability Accessibility

Erasmus University Rotterdam offers disability services. View more information.

Cost

Students will pay Hofstra Law tuition for the semester and will be responsible for all travel, housing, insurance and related expenses.

Financial aid is packaged through the normal process, and scholarships apply as if students were on campus for the semester.

Housing

Erasmus University Rotterdam is able to provide accommodation for some of the international students staying in the Netherlands less than 12 months.

The school has reserved around 800 furnished rooms in partnership with student housing companies such as SSH (Stichting Studentenhuisvesting Rotterdam), XIOR, Fizz Cobana and Roomplaza.
