INFORMATION FOR THE 2026/2027/1 SEMESTER

The 2026/2027/1 study period starts on September 7, 2026.

Please find the official calendar of the semester at the end of this document.

The payment deadline is September 1, 2026. See the details below.

The subject registration period starts on August 26, 2026 and includes the semester activation process as well. The registration period ends on September 4, 2026.

Remember: before starting the subject registration process, you need to activate your status in Neptun: Neptun/Administration/Enrollment-Registration – choose the semester 2026/2027/1 – when it will be available on the date of the registration.

Please consider your options before activating your semester:

  • if you do not pay the tuition fee, but activate yourself in Neptun, you won’t be able to change your status after October 14, 2026 – only by submitting a request.
  • in case you activate yourself in Neptun, please note that the university will ask you to pay your tuition fee (and in case the deadline passes, you will need to pay an additional penalty fee too).

Friendly reminders: 1) Once we add the new semester to your Neptun profile your student status will automatically change to Undetermined. This relates to your upcoming semester, not the previous ones. You have to change your status by announcing the continuation of your studies as active or passive. (See steps above.) 2) In case you cannot see the new semester please make sure you filter the semesters according to the following:

If the checkmark is present in the filtering, then it will only show the active semesters. If you delete the checkmark, you will be able to see the new, undetermined semester.

We can issue student status certificates (for the 2026/2027/1 semester) only from September 7, 2026.

Please note that as long as there are no new restrictions regarding entry to the University we will not be scanning and sending you documents by email. In case you need documentation from us, you have to come to the office during the opening hours. In case you need a transcript of your credits, you have to request it a few days before picking it up.

Of course, in case you are outside Hungary, we can arrange to scan and email your documents, but otherwise we will no longer do so.

SUBJECT REGISTRATION REMINDER

    • before registering your subjects we ask you to check the prerequisite chart for your own course so you know which subjects you are able to register for and which you cannot (not even with a request).

    https://semmelweis.hu/etk/en/training-program-documents/

    • check the Prerequisite charts/Your own starting year/Your own program – with the help of these documents and your Neptun you should be able to check your progress and which subjects you are missing or can register for in the current semester. Please note that it’s not the Secretariat’s job to do it for you. Try to be prepared for your next semester for your own sake.
    • in case there are no more places on a course when registering your subjects send your request to increase the course limits to the responsible department – the Secretariat still cannot raise limits. (Website > Departments – you should be able to find their contact info there.)
    • when registering for subjects, please stick to the subjects that you have to fulfill in your current semester, or the ones you are missing from previous semesters. Don’t take places away from upper year students who are on schedule and have to proceed with their studies.

    If you register for a subject for the first time

    choose normal course

    If you need to retake a course, and you already have a signature (see below)

    choose CV course

    If you need to retake a course, but your signature is rejected

    choose normal course again

    If you need to retake a course, and you already took 3 exams that you failed

    choose an FM course

    What is the difference between CV or FM course registration?

    CV course is NOT considered as a new subject registration, it is just an exam retake course, where you do not need to go to classes again. However, you can only use your remaining exam options. For one normal course you can have 3 exam options. If you do not use all 3 during the normal subject registration, you can use the remaining number of exam options in the CV course. (If you have used one exam for the normal course, then you have 2 exam options remaining for the CV course.)

    FM course is considered as a new subject registration, just like a normal course, but you do not need to go to classes again. In this case you have 3 exam options.

    Useful links:

    At Neptun/Studies/Curriculum: you can check which subjects you have fulfilled and the result, and you can also see the number of subject registration(s).

    At Neptun/Subjects/Registered subjects/List the requested term: This will list all your subjects for the semester and gives you the option to check your subject details and results (at + menu).

    At Exams/Taken exams/List the requested term: at + menu you can check exam details and previous exams. At previous exams you can check if you appeared/not appeared at the previous exams (just to be able to calculate with the missed exam fee and to decide if you need to take a CV/FM course).

    The student status needs to be terminated after:

    • having 3 subject registrations (normal+FM+FM OR normal/normal/FM or normal/normal/normal, CV courses do not count as subject registrations) OR

    Uncertified missed exam chances count as failed exams.

PAYMENT INFORMATION

Payment deadline is September 1, 2026.

Students have one month for paying the tuition fee of the given semester without penalty: till October 1, 2026.

Please note that students cannot get a student certificate, a valid insurance or validation of their student card until their tuition fee is completely settled. Please note that until you do not pay the tuition fee, you cannot turn in request for study issues either (subject registration, missing grade etc.).

After October 1st, 2026 – the tuition fee can be paid with a default penalty of 500 EUR. The penalty is applicable if the debt exceeds 200 EUR.

The latest deadline for paying the tuition fee with penalty is the last day of the study period: December 18, 2026.

Please note that students cannot register for any exam until their tuition fee plus penalty are completely settled.

If the above final deadline is missed, i.e. the tuition fee plus penalty are not settled by the end of the study period, the tuition fee for the current semester can no longer be paid, student’s status will remain active, but every signature acquired and every grade earned by the student during the semester will be deleted. The student’s status remains active means that the debt remains to be made up before the registration to any other active semesters. The status cannot be changed to passive after the end of the teaching term, and the tuition fee of an active semester cannot be remitted.

The student is unable to register for a new active semester until the debt has been settled in full.

In case you have an unfulfilled payment item in your Neptun after the official deadlines are up then the Foreign Students’ Secretariat will forward your case to the University’s Legal Department who are responsible for debt collection (missing tuition fee or missing HUF fees).

What can you do if you have any problem with the payment?

  • request asking for tuition fee payment delay

NEPTUN FINANCIAL INFORMATION→

BANKING DETAILS

Tuition fee payment should be made in EUR with bank transfer to the following bank account. Please remember that the tuition fee payment process is done in 2 steps:

  1. You transfer your tuition fee to the University’s summary account:
    Account name: Semmelweis University
    Bank name: OTP Bank Nyrt.
    Bank address: 16. Nádor Street, H-1051 Budapest, Hungary (1051 Budapest, Nádor utca 16., Hungary)

Bank account name: EUR summary invoice
Number: 11763842-00882880
Currency: EUR
IBAN number: HU11117638420088288000000000
SWIFT (BIC) code: OTPVHUHB

When transferring your tuition fee please write your Neptun code into the description in the following format: NK-ABC123 (in which ABC123 stands for your OWN Neptun code, please change it to that). You can also indicate your name there.

  1. You link your active payment item (active tuition fee) and your free balance on the summary invoice in the Neptun:
  • go to Neptun/Finances/Payment – choose the payment item that indicates your tuition fee for the semester.
  • select the active item and choose the option Pay in.
  • at this point the Neptun should take you to the next page where you have to choose to pay your active item by the summary invoice (the only possible option).
  • your previously transferred money which was on the summary invoice is now linked to your active fee, making it possible to fulfill your payment item.
  • you can pay your tuition fee from the summary invoice only in one amount, meaning you have to have the whole amount of your tuition fee (or more) on the summary invoice to fulfill your active payment item.

Please note that it’s not enough that you just transfer the money to the University’s summary account, you have to go to your Neptun and do the 2nd step of the process (linking your free balance on the account to your active payment item) and actually pay in your tuition fee.

Please note that a tuition fee payment can be considered as fulfilled when it arrives to the University’s account and sometimes money transfer takes 1-3 days. Please calculate with these details before starting the transfer. When transferring money please always make sure you’re the one paying for the transfer fee, as they will charge it from your paid amount otherwise.
