What do the so-called CV and FM exams mean?
CV and FM are abbreviations. CV stands for the Hungarian term „Csak Vizsga”, meaning „Exam
only”. The term indicates that the student has already received the signature (fulfilled the
semester requirements), and shows that he/she wouldn’t be able to sit again for the subject,
because the subjects in not announced in the following semester, there are only retake exams
of the subject announced. CV can be taken only in case you have exam opportunity remained.
FM stands for the Hungarian term „Felmentett”, meaning „Exempt”. This term also indicates
fulfilling requirements of the subject, and that the student is not obliged to take the course
again. However, the subject is announced again, so the student can choose to attend the
class, if he/she decides so…
(Should the student decide to attend the course again even though he/she has already fulfilled
the requirements, the same rules shall apply to him/her, as to those attending the class for the
first time (Absence, attendance at classes, etc.))
How many retake opportunities do I have in a semester and in an academic year?
There are 3 exam opportunities in each subject, per academic year (1 exam, and 2 retakes).
There is a special 4 th trial (the 3 rd retake), which may be used exclusively in 1 chosen subject,
once a year. After using this 4 th exam opportunity, the student shall not have a 4 th trail in other
subjects and cannot be granted a “special permission” for a 5 th opportunity.
Please count carefully your remaining exam opportunities! For example if you use 2 exam
opportunities in Chemistry in the 1 st semester (1 exam and 1 retake), you will only have 1
remaining opportunity for a retake in the following semester (plus the one extra 4 th chance, in
case you hadn’t used it up in the same year in another subject.
How do I order a check for my 3rd or 4th exam in the given semester?
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”. Please visit the English Secretariat to pick up your
check. The check must be paid at the Post Office, the retained part of the check is to be
shown prior to the exam on site.

What should I do when applying for summer practice at a Semmelweis department?
Students wishing to complete their summer practice at a Semmelweis institution or clinic
should make preparations for the practice during the 2nd semester at the chosen Semmelweis
department.
A signed, stamped acceptance letter must be procured from the department, which ensures
the place of the student for the 4 weeks of the practice. The current cost of the practice - if
spent at Semmelweis University - is USD 330, the HUF equivalent of which has to be
transferred to the bank account of the relevant department (in case the department does not
have a separate bank account, the sum must be wired to the main account of Semmelweis
University.) The institution or clinic may request that the student submit a certificate of school
attendance, which the student must obtain from the English Secretariat.
