Registering for, but failing to attend an exam shall result in forfeiting 1 exam opportunity, just
like the student would have failed the exam (in this case without the opportunity to retake the
exam).
The only difference is that in case the student does not attend the exam, he/she is not allowed
to try to take his/her first exam in the extension period, since this period is exclusively upheld
for retaking failed exams.
Should I go to the department when applying for an exemption?
Yes, except in case of Physical Education and the summer Nursing Practice. Physical Education
medical certificates, and certificates/degree proving the completion of nursing courses/studies
must be submitted to the English Secretariat by October 1, (1st semester), March 1 (2nd
semester) in each year, along with a letter in which you describe your problem in a few words
and apply for a permission to be exempted from the subject. The request letter must be
addressed to the English Secretariat.
In other subjects, first, you have to see the English Secretariat, where you’ll get a blank
exemption form, which must be filled out and stamped by the competent department. Then,
you must see the competent department with the form and the certificate of your previous
studies, which will be reconsidered when granting an exemption from the subject. At the
department you need to get your exemption form signed and stamped. Important: the teacher
must indicate the offered grade on the form. After having the form filled and stamped, you
have to return it to the English Secretariat, where it will be processed. In case it is ok, the
registrar will enter the given grade into the Neptun and will indicate it in your lecture book too.
Having completed the above, you have no further obligations relevant to the particular subject.
Transfer students admitted from another Hungarian Medical University must note that the
credits for a subject they have completed at the other university, and Semmelweis University
grants exemption with a grade for that, the credits can be acknowledged just once: either the
credits from the other university or the credits granted by SU.
Should I go to the teacher to get my index book signed, if I got exemption in the
subject?
No, but you must submit the filled out exemption form to the English Secretariat. (In some
subjects the departments send to the Secretariat the list of students who got exemption in the
subject, but it is your responsibility to make sure whether you are supposed to submit the
document or the list is sent to the Secretariat by the department.)
How shall I register for the next semester?
Please see Article 7, Point 5
What shall I do if I failed my first retake attempt ?
First, please read the part titled “Extra curricular fees” in the Calendar, where you’ll find the
different extracurricular fees. Log on your Neptun, go to „Finances”, choose „Payment”, then
„Transcribe item”, choose „Retake exam”, choose „Semester”, then the relevant subject from
the list, and finally click on „Create item”. After this, please see the English Secretariat to pick
up your check. The check must be paid at the Post Office, and the retained part of the check is
to be shown prior to the exam on site.
