Rules and requirements for creating study plans

Studies are assessed by credits and examinations stipulated by the study plans. The student is notified of these through the information system.

The student registers for examinations in the information system.

The student is entitled to a second and third attempt to pass an examination. If neither of those attempts proves successful, the Dean may in exceptional cases permit a fourth attempt, known as the Dean?s Examination. A Dean?s Examination is administered by a commission with the participation of the dean or of a vice-dean appointed by the dean. No repeat of an examination is permitted for the main subjects and for written examinations.

If a student is evaluated with an ?F? or ?credit denied", his/her studies shall be terminated in accordance with § 56 (1)(b) of the Universities Act as amended. The decision is covered by § 68 of the Universities Act as amended. If, for serious reasons, a student is unable appear at an examination, he/she shall excuse him/herself in advance; otherwise he/she shall be regarded as having failed the examination. A student may also arrange with a pedagogue to sit for an examination before the stipulated date.

Credit is an ungraded form of assessment of studies. It is allocated upon fulfilment of obligations stipulated for individual subjects and is recorded in the information system with the word ?Credited? (Z). An examination is a graded form of assessment of studies, which tests knowledge and level of creativity in the relevant subject. It may be practical, written, oral or a combination of the above. For the main subjects, the examinations are usually conducted before the committee.

The examinations are graded on the scale ?A, B, C, D, E, F?

A (excellent work exceeding the relevant criteria),

B (above-average work with a minimum of errors),

C (average work with an acceptable number of errors),

D (acceptable work with a large number of errors),

E (work that meets the minimum requirements),

F (unacceptable work).

Apart from the aforementioned scale, the letter ?X? may also be used in the information system; this indicates that it has been decided not to allocate a grade for the relevant examination date. The evaluation must be registered in the information system within two working days following the examination or the allocation of credit.
