Dear Students!

We would like to inform you that in the fall semester of 2020/2021 the Faculty provides opportunity to make up for exams in the extraordinary exam period for those students who could not complete any of their exams in the regular exam period due to epidemiological circumstances or other exceptional reasons worthy of special consideration.

We call your attention that the number of exam places offered in the extraordinary exam period will be limited, therefore, please strive to take your exams in the regular exam period!

If the student refers to other, exceptional reasons worthy of special consideration or if his/her eligibility for the extraordinary exam cannot be decided unequivocally, the Educational Committee will make the decision about the exam registration based on the attached supporting documents. Following the decision – depending on the result - the administrative officer of the RO will register the student for the exam or inform him/her about the rejection of the application.
5. If the student’s extraordinary exam would be the 3rd or further exam within the same subject, the student is obliged to transcribe and pay the retake exam fee in Neptun. Furthermore, if the extraordinary exam would be the 4th exam within the given subject in the current semester, the request for Dean’s exam chance must also be submitted.
6. Those students who are entitled for the extraordinary exam, but are still taking exam in the 7th week of the regular exam period (between January 25-29) and are not sure whether they will actually need the extraordinary exam are still advised to submit their application within the deadline and they shall promptly notify their administrative officer if their exam in the last week of January was successful or unsuccessful. If the exam in the 7th exam week was successful, the administrative officer will delete the student’s extraordinary exam registration.
