After you have entered all individual portfolio training activities, you need to request a review of your portfolio. First, your first supervisor will be invited by email to approve your request via a task on the Hora Finita dashboard. Following this approval, the graduate school will receive a request to assess the individual training activities. Once approved, the task ‘Portfolio approved’ on your PhD checklist will be marked as complete.

This manual describes how to request a review, according to the new procedure (since April 2026).

You can find the instructions for entering training activities here. 

If you have entered all training activities in Hora Finita and the portfolio is complete, you can initiate the approval process. This approval process starts with your first supervisor approving your submission in Hora Finita, followed by the graduate school assessing all the activities you've entered. This results in an approved portfolio and a certificate.
