Regulations regarding course registration and examinations
First of all, students must register to a course and by registration a student assumes an obligation to take the examination or pass/fail evaluation in the course during the semester it is taught.
Course registration for each semester has the following dates:
1. registration for spring semester - starts on December 15th and runs until the beginning of spring semester
2. registration for autumn semester - starts on May 15th and runs until the beginning of autumn semester
First year and exchange/visiting students have the first two weeks of their first semester for course registration.
The student is allowed to take the examination if he/she has registered for the course and fulfilled all the requirements necessary to take the examination. The examiner (the teaching staff member responsible or the person nominated by him/her) bears the responsibility for checking the fulfilment of the requirements established in the syllabus for allowing the student to take the examination. The syllabi are available in the Study Information System.
Times of examinations
The student must choose between two regular examination times, it is an exception if more times are given. Examinations times are fixed at the same time with timetables. Timetables of autumn semester are available in the Study Information System as of May 2, spring semester ones are available as of December 1. In order to see timetables in the Study Information System, one can access the system without UT access account.
Registration to examinations
In general, students are not required to register to an exam separately. All students who have registered to the course and have chosen one of the examination times are automatically considered for taking the exam. However, with very large students’ groups, the teaching staff member responsible for the course may ask for separate registration. In this case, students need to register themselves in the Study Information System at the latest three days before the exam is held. If there are more than 60 registered students, registration must be done at the latest three days before the first examination takes place.
If the student wishes to take a resit, registration is obligatory. The registration for the resit ends one day before the resit takes place.
Examination results
An examination graded in the range from E to A is regarded as a pass. An examination graded with an F is regarded as a failure. Grades will be entered into the Study Information System within four working days after the examination takes place if the examination was taken by 50 persons; within seven working days if the examination was taken by 51-80 persons and within 11 working days if the examination was taken by more than 80 persons. Despite the number of the persons having taken the examination, the grades must be entered at the latest two working days before the resit in the respective course, but not later than by the end of the semester.
If you can not take examination
If the student does not take the exam, the note "not present" is recorded in the examination minutes. In calculating an average grade, "not present" equals to zero and one examination option is considered used. " Not present " note is annulled if the student submits a document, within 5 working days from the day the exam took place, where reason(s) of absence are given.
If you fail an examination
During one semester, the student can twice take an exam in one course (one regular exam and one resit). If both exams are graded negatively (failed), the student must register to the course and pass it once again in one of the following semesters. A resit is not obligatory if the student decides to pass the course for a second time. In one course, the student can take the exam four times maximum. After the fourth negative result in the same course, the student is exmatriculated by the end of the semester.
