Essential information for first-year students

 

Members of staff

If you have any questions about a course, course work or maybe even the classroom, it's a good idea to get in touch with the member of the staff who is teaching your class. You can find contact information for all of us here. Don't forget though that we are often teaching and cannot always read and reply to our emails. You may also find that you only get replies to emails on weekdays, so please make sure you ask for any information you need in time!   

 

Entrance exam

The entrance exam is designed to help us provide the maximum support to all first-year students and is compulsory for all first-year students. The results of this test give us important information about the level of the students as well as whether they are required to attend the Remedial Language Development Class.

The test for full-time students will be held on the first Wednesday of the semester (this being the 13th September in 2023) during the Remedial Language Development Class at 14:00 in the room timetabled for this class. Part-time will write this exam online at the beginning of the semester. 

Failure to attend could jeopardize your studies at university and so make sure you are there!

 

Contact Days

Contact days are the days when part-time students must attend classes at university. A list of contact days is available here: Contact days for the current semester

 

Individual timetables

It is rare for timetable clashes to occur but when they arise, students may apply for an individual timetable via Neptun in kedvezményes tanulmányi rend under the Ügyintézés/kérvények menu point. Detailed instructions are available here. Individual timetables are occasionally issued to students for other reasons and are granted on an individual basis. The conditions of exemptions are granted by the member of staff teaching the course (course work, exams and/or attendance) but students must still attend a minimum of 50% of classes.  

 

Registering for classes

Students are responsible for registering for their own classes. A list of all relevant classes is available in the student handbook which all students receive in their first year. If a student fails to register for specific classes, they will be unable to receive a grade or credits at the end of the semester.

Students must register for classes during registration week. A fee will be charged for late registration.
