Conditions for acceptance of the semester
Maximum of 25 % absence allowed
Mid-term exams
The students receive a practice mark based on their performance during the semester. The mark will be registered in the NEPTUN. The mark must be at least satisfactory as a prerequisite for taking the semester exam. Around the 10th week of the semester, a written test is the base of the parctice mark. The test covers the subjects of practice classes of the first 9 weeks of the semester and 50% of the available points must be reached for acceptance of the semester. Should someone fail or want to improve, they can do it one time before the end of the semester. On a final failure (that is, after the improvement attempt still below 50%), the student cannot have semester accepted.
Making up for missed classes
There is no way to make up for missed classes.
