Leniency Committee Cyber Attack

In view of the possibility that students have suffered a disadvantage or damage as a result of the cyber attack at Maastricht University, the Executive Board has decided to temporarily set up a Leniency Committee with the aim of creating clarity for the student as quickly as possible. Students can apply to this committee with a request for compensation.

The Leniency Committee only accepts requests for compensation in disadvantage or damage that are directly related to the cyber attack. The Leniency Committee will advise the Executive Board on the submitted request. In principle, the student will receive a decision from the Executive Board by email within 4 weeks after receiving the request.

  1. Who can submit a request that includes a request for leniency?
    Every student with an active registration between 23 December 2019 and 31 January 2020 at Maastricht University who has suffered a disadvantage or damage as a result of the cyber attack.
