COMMON RULES FOR PERFORMANCE OF EXAMINATION

Specifying the examination dates
The dates of examination will be announced in the SIS in the 6th week of the semester (since 4th November 2013 in winter semester and since 24th March 2014 in summer semester).

Rules for registration for exams and cancellation
The start of registration for specific examination dates will be entered in SIS from 8th week of the semester (since 18th November 2013 in winter semester and since 27th April 2014 in summer semester).
A student can only take the exam if registered for the term in SIS, and when all requisites for the exam have been met.

Registration for particular examination dates (“terms”) will be possible at the latest 48 hours prior to the date of the exam (excluding weekend days and feasts).
Cancellation will be possible at the latest 48 hours prior to the date of the exam (excluding weekend days and feasts).

Failure to turn up for examination and apology
The student who fails to turn up for the examination that he/she has registered for cannot register for another examination date (see Regulations, Article 6, Subsection 16, and Rules, Articles 8 and 9).
The student must apologise to the principal teacher of the subject (Mgr. V. Vavrda, PhD) in writing or in electronic mail, giving and substantiating the reasons for the apology.
The student will be informed about acceptance of the apology and also deleted from the original list so that he/she can register for another date.
The principal teacher of the subject can require specification of the apology or its reasons if he/she finds the apology insufficient.

Re-examinations
A student can take an examination in a subject for three times as a maximum, i.e. the student is entitled to two re-examinations, and no extraordinary terms beyond that are allowed (Regulations, Article 6, Subsection 16). However, if the student does not exploit the above options within the set examination dates, this does not entitled him/her to a special date of examination to be appointed for him/her personally.
No more examination dates (“terms”) will be set.
Further, no examinations can be taken after the end of the second part of the regular examination period in September, or after the last term announced. No extraordinary terms or “Dean’s terms” are allowed.

Rules pertaining to the course of examination
The form of the exam will be in test, written or oral form.
