If a master's student wishes to graduate by August 31st, the following conditions apply:

- Deregister from Studielink
- Log in to My DUO to pass on the deregistration date of your studies
- Go to 'My studies and diplomas' and choose 'School/study'
- Click on 'Change' behind your current study. The rest is self-explanatory
