Legitimate reasons for absence from examination

  • Illness or accident that prevents participation in the exam;
  • Decease during the examination period in question of a relative by blood or marriage in 1st degree (parents or children) or in 2nd degree (grandparents, grandchildren, brother, sister) or of a person living with the student;
  • Judicial reasons (e.g. summoning or summons to appear before a court);
  • Overlap between exams, other than catch-up exams, within a GIT or model track with elective courses (including major/minor courses). Overlap means that 2 or more exams are held on the same day. The student must give priority to the previous course unit in order of the model track years or the duty course (in the case of model track);
  • Written examination, other than a catch-up examination, in the evening examination block of one day and written examination, other than a catch-up examination, in the morning examination block of the following calendar day. Where appropriate, the student shall give priority to the course unit from the lowest model track year or the duty course (in the case of model track);
  • Other forms of force majeure (an event that has nothing to do with the student and could not reasonably have been foreseen, prevented or overcome);
  • Mandatory quarantine or isolation.
