Change of the field of study, removal from the list of students, resumption of studies

Change of the field of study

A change of the field of study is possible with the approval of the dean or relevant deans, after the student has completed the first term of study (depending on the field of study, this may be a semester or a year - e.g. when studying as an undergraduate at the faculty of MIM, this will be the first semester of study); you will need the approval of both deans to transfer between faculties. The dean of the new faculty will determine the curriculum differences and the conditions for their completion.

Note that the regulations of study mention completion of a term of study (i.e. full completion, not conditional entry to the next term involving failure to pass the previous term); From 2022 it is no longer possible to transfer from mathematics to computer science.

If you have studied within the MSEM specialisation and wish to withdraw from it, you need to submit a paper application to be removed  from one of the fields of study: from mathematics if you wish to remain in economics only, or vice versa; you need to apply at the same time to the vice-dean of the field of study in which you intend to remain and agree the conditions for continuation of your studies.

Removal from the list of students

A student may be removed from the list of students in the case of:

• failure to undertake studies - e.g., if you fail to register for obligatory courses in the following semester, or if you fail to appear at the faculty despite being admitted, or if you fail to confirm in USOS taking the oath within one month of the beginning of studies;
• resignation from studies - if you know that you no longer want to study, resign yourself. This will save others unnecessary work, free up available space in your class group, etc. According to the study regulations, the resignation from the study requires your own signature;
• lack of progress in learning, which is ascertained if you have failed to obtain credit for a given study term more than once.
• failure to obtain credit for a study term (a semester or a year) by the deadline specified - if the set of courses you have completed does not allow for conditional passing of a stage and the vice-dean for student affairs or the study regulations do not allow for its repetition. In extreme cases, this may also occur if you fail to link courses to a study term and fail to submit the programme for settlement or fail to apply for a conditional registration for the subsequent term of study or for the referral to repeat a term of study by the deadline;
• failure to pay applicable fees related to your studies - if you do not pay the fees for repeated courses or for extracurricular courses that you have registered for and not obtained credit for by the due date. Remember, removal from the student list does not cancel the debt;
• failure to submit a degree thesis or failure to pass the diploma examination within the scheduled time frame for study completion - basic deadline for submitting diploma thesis and diploma exam is the end of September, the vice-dean for student affairs may extend it until the end of December at your request;
• punishment by the disciplinary penalty of expulsion from the University - e.g. for plagiarism in examination test or diploma thesis;
• failure to participate in obligatory courses - when the number of the student’s absences makes it impossible to fulfil the duties specified for the particular study cycle.

The decision on removal from the list of students can be appealed to the Rector. The appeal should be submitted through the Head of the educational unit (i.e. the vice-dean for student affairs).

Resumption of studies

Resumption of studies is possible unless more than 10 years expired from the day of the first removal form the list of students in the particular field of study.Resumption of studies is possible unless more than 10 years expired from the day of the first removal form the list of students in the particular field of study.

The vice-dean for student affairs may allow resumption of study, taking into account the student’s previous learning outcomes and period since the date of the student’s removal from the list of students and amendments to the study curriculum since that time. In such the case, the student shall resume the same studies from which the student was previously removed (provided they are still run), subject to verdicts issued in the study process until that time. This means that you will not be able to resume your studies if you have already repeated the study term from which you were removed (the study regulations allow you to repeat a given study term only once).

You may apply to resume your studies if you have completed at least the first year of studies before being removed. If the study programme or course schedule has changed in the meantime, you will need to make up curricular differences, which will be decided by the vice-dean for student affairs. In addition, the dean may decide to conduct a backlog test prior to reviewing the application. If your course of study has not been documented in USOS, you need to attach information about the courses you have completed and study terms at the Faculty of MIM to your application. To be eligible for resumption in a second cycle programme, a student must hold a degree of master, bachelor, master of science in engineering or their equivalent.

As a rule, you can resume your studies no sooner than from the next academic year after the removal date. This restriction does not apply if the reason for your removal was failure to pay applicable fees (in which case you will have to pay them now), or if you only need to complete the last cycle of seminars to graduate and if you are resuming your studies to defend your diploma thesis.

If you have been removed from the list of students because you did not submit your diploma thesis on time, you may apply for resumption of studies without the requirement to make up curricular differences within two years of being removed from the list of students.

When you resume your studies using this procedure, you will be re-registered for the relevant diploma seminar. The vice-dean for student affairs, in consultation with the thesis supervisor, may decide on individual completion procedure of the seminar.

In the case of the student’s re-removal from the list of students, resumption of studies shall be possible only according to general rules subject to making up curricular differences.
