The arrival of the payment can take multiple days.

Applying for exams

You can apply for exams via Neptun. You simply go to “Exams”, then to exam registration. Here you give the current semester, and then search for your exam. Once you found it, you press the plus icon, and you press register. It is important that you can only do this during given periods, when the exam application is open.

Active-Passive student status

At the beginning of each semester, after the registration you need to state if you would like to be in an active status or in a passive status.

  • Students with active status can continue their studies.
