Advancement under exceptional conditions

Alma Mater Europaea University may approve advancement to a higher year even if the student has not met the required conditions in the case of the following circumstances: maternity, prolonged illness, exceptional family or social circumstances, participation in top cultural, sports, or professional events.

Repeating a year

A student who does not meet the conditions for enrollment in a higher year may repeat a year once during their studies or change their study program or field due to non-fulfillment of obligations in the previous field or study program.

Provisions on transitions between programs

A transition is understood as the termination of the student's education in the study program in which they enrolled and the continuation of education in a new study program, in which all or part of the obligations that the student has already completed in the first study program are recognized as completed obligations of the second study program.

A change of study program or field due to non-fulfillment of obligations in the previous study program or field is not considered a transition as per the previous paragraph.

Transitions between programs are possible within the first-cycle programs of Alma Mater Europaea University and other faculties in accordance with the Higher Education Act (applicable to programs adopted under the HEA of 2004), Criteria for transitions between study programs, and other regulations. Students enrolled before the introduction of new study programs for obtaining education, who have the right to repeat and due to the gradual introduction of new study programs cannot repeat a year in the program they enrolled in, transfer to the new program under the same conditions as students of new programs.

When transitioning from other study programs to the first-cycle higher vocational study program "Social Gerontology," the candidate must submit a certified certificate of completed study obligations at the higher education institution where they were enrolled and an official transcript of confirmed and valid curricula for subjects and other contents in which they completed study obligations from equivalent programs and related fields. If the curricula (subjects and other study program contents) from the candidate's previous study do not cover the contents of the higher vocational study program to an appropriate extent, the "Study Affairs Committee" may determine the missing obligations that candidates must complete if they wish to graduate in the new program.

Conditions for transition between study programs

Students enrolled before the introduction of new study programs for obtaining education, who have the right to repeat and due to the gradual introduction of new study programs cannot repeat a year in the program they enrolled in, transfer to the new program under the same conditions as students of new programs.

Students of higher vocational study programs in health sciences who meet the conditions for enrollment in the higher education study program Social Gerontology are assigned missing obligations they must complete if they wish to graduate in the new program. The conditions apply both to study programs adopted before the Higher Education Act of 2004 and those adopted after the act. 

Conditions for transition from other study programs to the first-cycle higher vocational study program "Social Gerontology"

Students of university or higher vocational study programs in the field of Social Gerontology and related university or higher vocational first-cycle study programs who meet the conditions for enrollment in the new higher education study programs of Social Gerontology at Alma Mater Europaea University are assigned missing obligations they must complete if they wish to graduate under the new program.
