The Administrative Court of the Netherlands declared the applicant's appeal admissible against the University of Utrecht's refusal to grant a catch-up test. While the court found the initial rejection by the University's Board of Appeals lacked substantive grounds, it upheld the decision because the applicant failed to provide evidence of personal circumstances justifying the test. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed on the merits, confirming the university's right to deny the request.
