Important notes:

  • Consequenses of failed course!! Student can’t register for the following course: Microbiology
  • Justification of absence: Student is obliged to provide a scanned medical certificate for the teacher in email as soon as possible she/he’s recovered from the disease.

Absenteeism and replacement of Progress exam is not applicable posteriorly.
  • due to the huge numbers of students the teachers should be kept the deadlines and the times of the Progress exam. The education and the exams are unified the all training centres. So for example for one people we cannot give replacement time due to absence. Complaining deadline is also important.
