We are writing on behalf of concerned students regarding the handling of exams during the current Code Orange situation.

Since Monday, the entire country has been under Code Orange: trains are not running, buses are limited, and many people cannot leave airports due to flight cancellations. Roads in and around Nijmegen are poorly cleared, making travel dangerous for students coming from outside the city. Cyclists risk serious injuries as streets and bike paths are icy and not properly salted. Weather forecasts indicate that conditions will not improve in the coming days. Despite this, the university has applied inconsistent policies: earlier today it was decided at 12:45 that students who can arrive safely should attend exams, while evening exams at 6:00 were cancelled. On Monday, exams went ahead under the same conditions, causing confusion and stress.

This approach puts students at risk, creates unfairness, and prevents proper planning. We therefore request:

1. Clear and timely communication regarding whether exams will proceed under Code Orange.

2. That student safety is explicitly prioritized in all decisions.

3. A third opportunity for students unable to attend due to these circumstances.

4. A review of emergency exam policies to ensure consistent, transparent, and safe practices.

We have included a list of all students who agree with this statement and have offered their support; you will find both their names and their Radboud emails in the attached document.

We urge the Radboud university to provide clear guidance as soon as possible so that students can make safe and informed decisions.
