Obtaining course credits and examinations: excusing your absence, credits transfer
Course credits
Course coordinators are responsible for determining the rules for obtaining course credits and the principles of admission to examinations and for publishing them in USOS. The same applies to credit for absences from classes and laboratories. The absence on PE classes during exam session is excused by the Physical Education and Sports Centre (SWFIS) based on general information from the vice-dean for student affairs. The rules for excusing absences at other times are determined by the Physical Education and Sports Center, University of Warsaw (SWFiS).
You have 2 exam dates in regular exam session. Course coordinator decides on conditions for taking an exam on a date falling before the examination session. Course coordinator may also decide to grant the student the right to improve a positive grade in a re-sit examination session/on a re-sit deadline.
As a rule, unexcused absence at an examination shall result in the loss of one exam date. However, in case of absence caused by an illness or another chance event, you may e-mail to Student Office a written request for reinstatement of the right to examination together with the original documents justifying your absence (e.g. medical certificate) within 7 days of the date of the examination.
If you have any objections as to the form, conduct or impartiality of the exam grading, you have the right to submit a request to the vice-dean for student affairs for an exam before a commission within 7 days of of the date of the examination or of announcing the examination results. However, you should remember that an exam before a commission is not another examination date and your objections should be justified.
Transcription of credits obtained at the Faculty of MIM in previous years
If you have re-enrolled, you will probably not need to repeat courses you have already passed provided that no more than 2 years have elapsed since the date of the credit (although this is decided by the vice-dean for student affairs in each case). Applications to the vice-dean for student affairs shall be submitted via USOSweb within one month of the start of the semester.
The vice-dean for student affairs will take into account the course grade (if you have not passed the exam on the 1st date and obtained a 3 on the 2nd date, you will probably not be granted the approval of the vice-dean for student affairs) and whether the course consists of several parts (Mathematical analysis in Mathematics and Computer Science, GAL -Linear algebra and geometry in Mathematics) - if you get a 3 in the first part and have not passed the second part, you will not be granted the approval of the vice-dean for student affairs.

Credits transferred from another faculty/university
An application via usosweb needs to be submitted within one month of the start of the semester with a transcript of records from another university (courses completed at the UW will be visible in usos) and (in the case of a specialization course that has an equivalent taught at MIM) an opinion from the course coordinator confirming the equivalence of the two courses.
There is no need to include an opinion for courses that do not have an equivalent at the faculty of MIM (e.g. general university courses).
Recognition of an external course as equivalent to a course taught at the faculty of MIM exempts the student from completing the course at the faculty of MIM (in the case of obligatory courses) or from obtaining the indicated number of ECTS credits (e.g. in the case of elective courses, general university courses or humanities and social sciences courses).
Courses from another university will be entered into USOS as external courses, will be included in your Diploma Supplement and will be used to calculate your grade point average.
