At the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a separate examination period is announced for the students whose special permission request has been approved in the last 9 weeks of the term in each semester. (In the autumn semester between October and December; in the spring semester between March and May.)

In case the prerequisite subject is not passed within the examination period announced in the last 9 weeks of the term, then the upper semester subject(s) will get deleted. While the special permission request remains used.

Those who pass the prerequisite subject in the examination period announced in the last 9 weeks of term have to provide the Department(s) responsible for the upper semester subject(s) with a certificate to be eligible for the practical grade of the upper semester subject, or to be eligible to register for the upper semester subject(s)’ exams announced in  the regular examination period. Do not forget to notify your Registrars as well about passing the prerequisite subject.

Such a request can only be requested once during your studies and is separate from any other special permission chance.
If the request is granted, you will be registered for the subjects it was prerequisite for in your study group, by your registrar.
