INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS GRADUATING IN THE 2023/2024/2 SPRING SEMESTER
In case you have to submit a credit transfer request to obtain your absolutorium, please read the guide on the faculty website about the deadlines and the submission process: here
We would like to bring to your attention that processing your credit transfer request may take some time. In the case of so-called “technical requests” where the Credit transfer Committee does not discuss the request, the processing time is at least three business days. In the case of other requests, which must be discussed by the Credit transfer Committee, the processing time is at least five business days.
* “abszolutórium” = Completion of all the compulsory courses listed in the curriculum of your study programme. This is NOT a separate certificate, it just means that your student status is changed to “absolved” in Neptun. This also means that you will automatically lose your active student status. If, for any personal reason, you do not take your Final Examination and submit your Thesis in the same semester in which you obtain your pre-degree certificate (abszolutórium), later you will only be able to obtain your Diploma as a non-active student (within the deadline indicated in the Academic Regulations).
Please contact your study coordinator via email (kertesz.emese@btk.elte.hu), as soon as your last grade is entered in Neptun.
Please take the following information into consideration:
- The Final Exam schedules are made by the institute/department responsible for your study programme.
- The Final Examination schedule, after received from the responsible institute/department, will be published on the faculty website by the Office of Educational Affairs on 16th May 2024.
Please note that you find your Final Exam date and venue in the exam schedule table based on your Education ID. You find your Education ID in Neptun under My data/Personal information.
Requirements for taking the Final Examination
Pre-degree certificate (absolutorium): all credits completed that are required in your curriculum. You have to complete all your exams, and check if you received all your grades in Neptun maximum 3 days before the Final Exam date. Please note that the Thesis writing seminar, Tutorial seminar, or Consultation regarding your Thesis are also included in the required credit amount if it is listed in your curriculum, therefore you should also receive a grade for it. Check the programme requirements.
This is NOT a separate certificate, it just means that your student status is changed for “absolved” in Neptun. Please note: with this, your student status ends.
Please contact your coordinator at the Office of Educational Affairs via email on the first working day after receiving your last grade in Neptun, and no later than three working days before your Final Examination:
