502 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ-s) The student must be fully aware of the Examination and Studies Regulations of Semmelweis University. Article 1, point 3: Knowledge of the content of the Regulations and compliance with them is obligatory for all educators, researchers, students and administrators participating in education directly or indirectly. Article 7, point 3: By registering the student declares that he or she is aware of the relevant rules of the University and Faculty and will comply with these. How do I calculate my average? The semester’s cumulated average is calculated from the grades and the credit points belonging to each subject. The number of credits is multiplied with the grade achieved in every subject, then, the amount derived so is divided by the number of all credits achieved in the semester. Example for one semester: Anatomy: grade 3/ 9 credits = 27 Basics of Biostatistics and Informatics: grade 4/ 3 credits = 12 Hungarian Medical Terminology I.: grade 5/ 4 credits = 20 Basics of Medical Physics: grade 5/ credit 3 =15 Medical Chemistry: grade 4/ 6 credits = 24 Basics of Medical Chemistry: grade 5/ 3 credits = 15 Medical Terminology: grade 5/2 credits = 10 Physical Education I. Ø ?: 27+12+20+15+24+15+10=123 Number of credits achieved in the 1st semester: 30 Weighted average of the first semester: 123/ 30 = 4,1 The cumulated average of the grades and credits give the result of the academic year. When applying for a tuition reduction, the average is calculated only from the grades, without taking into account the credits. The normal average of grades shows whether there is a possibility to request a tuition reduction. The students’ average must be above 4,51 to get 10% tuition reduction, and excellent (5) to get 15% tuition reduction. What is the process of submitting the medical certificate? Medical certificates: must be submitted to the competent department no later than by the end of the 3rd working day, following the date of the missed exam, class, practice or lecture. The medical certificate must be filled out in English or Hungarian, bear the doctor’s signature and an official stamp. No medical certificate will be accepted, if written in other languages and/or without an official stamp. The department shall decide whether the medical certificate is acceptable. If the department rejects the medical certificate, or the student doesn’t appear personally to justify his/her absence, the note: „didn’t attend” = “nem jelent meg” will be entered into the student’s lecture book and the Neptun system as well. This also applies in case the student fails to submit the medical certificate during the 3 working days following the missed exam.
