Valid Reasons for Absence
Missed exams for valid reasons are retaken during the designated period, with the study office scheduling the earliest possible date.
After the first retake, students with one or two failed assignments have the following options:
- opt for the second retake within the ongoing retake period (referred to as the "standard option");
- choose not to participate in the second retake and postpone it, requesting to repeat the course: to reattend it, undergo all assessment elements, and then proceed to the second retake, which would be the last remaining opportunity to pass the final assessment for this course.
Procedure for Postponing the Second Retake
- Submit an application "To postpone the retake date for the course and for repeated study" through the Student Service Centre application before the scheduled date of the second retake.
- To repeat the study, it is necessary to sign an Agreement on mastering a specific component of the given degree programme.
The cost of services under the Agreement is calculated according to the Procedure for Calculating the Cost of Educational Services.
