Useful information about the exam period and the end of the study period | Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences and Environmental Management

1. Mid-Semester Grades and Signatures

• Please check that all mid-semester grades and signatures (e.g. Physical Education) are visible in Neptun by:
  • the end of the study period, or
  • at the latest, by the end of the 3rd week of the exam period.
• If anything is missing or incorrect, contact the course instructor.

Important Rule:

If a course requires a midterm exam and the student:

• Fails it: a make-up exam must be offered during the semester.
• Fails again: a second make-up must be offered by the end of the 3rd week of the exam period.

If you exceed the permitted number of absences, you cannot receive credit for the course.

• Allowed absences:
  • 3 absences: for weekly practicals
  • 2 absences: for biweekly practicals

If a course instructor offers you a grade:

• Accept or decline it in Neptun under:
  Subjects → Offered Grades

Deadline: End of the exam period

If you do not accept or reject the offered grade by the deadline, the course will be marked as "not completed."

Do not register for the exam if you want to accept the offered grade — Neptun will block it.

• Register for exams in Neptun:
  Exams → Exam Registration
• You must register in Neptun to sit for an exam.

• You can have up to 3 exam attempts per subject per exam period:
  1. First exam
  2. Retake exam
  3. Repeated retake exam (final attempt)
• From the second retake onward, you must pay a 3,000 HUF exam fee.

• Retaking a passed exam to improve your grade:
  • Allowed in max. 2 subjects per semester
  • Only once per subject

You cannot improve a grade from a previous semester.

• If you miss an exam:
  • Submit a written excuse within 3 working days to the Study Departmetnt.
  • If accepted, the missed exam will be deleted from Neptun and won’t count as an attempt.
• Without a valid excuse:
  • Neptun will record it as "missed"
  • It counts as a used exam attempt and appears in your records.

• A few days after the exam period ends, your semester will close in Neptun and your GPA will be calculated.
• Please make sure:
  • All grades and signatures are submitted in Neptun.
  • Check your results under:
    Studies → Gradebook → Select Semester
