Notice
Article 35
If a student was unable to attend an exam or deregister from the exam for a substantial reason, i.e., if the student can demonstrate to the committee dealing with student applications that he/she was unable to sit the exam for reasons beyond his/her control, such a student will be deemed to have deregistered on time. A student who has failed to deregister and failed to attend any part of an exam without a substantial reason shall be considered as unassessed, which is equivalent to failing the exam.

Exam registration procedure for students who are required to pay to sit exams (students on a break in studies, and students attempting to pass the exam for the fourth time or more):

1) the student registers for the announced exam term in the information system on time; 

2) after entering the exam grade (positive or negative), the student receives an invoice by email (the same as the username), which must be paid by the deadline specified on it; 

3) in the case that the student does not settle the invoice in time, he/she will be blocked from using information system;

4) students are reminded that the examination rules have changed (returned registration, deadline for deregistering from an exam, etc.).
