7. Assessment of Meeting the Study Requirements

Article 26 [Offering a Grade]

(1) In cases of subjects concluded by end-term examinations and of those consisting of seminars and practical sessions only, the head of the educational-research department (the lecturer of the subject) can offer the student an excellent or a good grade based on the student’s performance or their achievement at an academic competition during the study period. The terms and conditions of offering term grades shall be announced no later than the beginning of the semester and shall be included in the description of the subject as well.

(2) The relevant students shall be informed about their offered grades on the last session of the course at the latest through the appropriate platform for offered grades of NEPTUN. Students are not obliged to accept the offered grade; they may apply for taking an examination instead. If the student does not register for any examination of the course, then the offered grade that has been recorded in NEPTUN shall be deemed accepted.

(3) In the case of compulsory subjects, students who have proved to have the highest level of knowledge on the assessments required for the grade offer may receive a grade offer as follows:

  1. students achieving in the top 5% are offered an ‘excellent’ grade;
  2. students achieving in the top 5.1-10% are offered a ‘good’ grade.

The above values can only be changed with the permission of the Dean.
