Announcement:
A new release from Hora Finita will be posted on Wednesday, 9 July 2025. Hora Finita may not be available for a while then.
In the week of 21 July more information on the most important changes will be listed here.
In advance, please be aware that one major adjustment is that the interface of Hora Finita will change. This will not affect the content or the workflow, but buttons and menus are in different places than you are used to. So you will have to search every now and then.
Thank you very much in advance for your understanding and patience in using the new interface!

Hora Finita should be accessible and easy to use for (co)supervisors during the supervision of a PhD candidate. However, at the department of doctorate affairs, we regularly receive questions about how to use Hora Finita. Of course, the more you use the system, the easier it gets. Hora Finita will be regularly improved and will at times require some adjusting to the system
First of all: You can consult several Hora Finita manuals on the VU Amsterdam website (link below). They will be updated to the new interface during summer.
If you have any questions about using Hora Finita, you could contact the department of doctorate affairs
Necessary documents:
- The VU PhD registration system Hora Finita
Tips:
Note: You will receive several messages on the PhD trajectories through Hora Finita. It happens that these end up in the spam box. You can prevent this by adding "no-reply@vu.nl" to your so-called 'safe senders'. You can find information on how this works, on the intranet, f.i. check this website. Alternatively, if you expect email about PhD trajectories, please check your spam box from time to time.

MFA: A Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is applicable for Hora Finita. If you have an 'E-number' as username, for safety reasons you will receive an extra email with a login code. So it's important to make sure that your email address in Hora Finita is correct! If you use a VUnet ID or VUmc username, you already have a validated login ID (workflow in English and in Dutch: below)
