Absence policy at ELTE BTK (Faculty of Humanities)

For full-time and part-time BA/MA students, in person (offline) education.

 

At our faculty, the education is primarily offline and we do not provide online education.

There are 2 kinds of classes:

  • Lecture – attendance is not always required (but recommended) depending on the lecturer. However, you have to take an exam at the end of the semester in person, so you must be present for that.

  • Seminar (Practice) – attendance is compulsory! You must be present from the beginning! You can be absent from 1/3 of the classes. It usually means 3 occasions, depending on the total number of classes/ semester (ELTE SZMSZ Academic Regulations for Students, Section 66 (1) c)


What happens if I miss more than 1/3 of the classes? – In this case the professor is not allowed to give you a grade according to ELTE SZMSZ Academic Regulations for Students (Section 66 (1) c)), even if you attend the rest of the classes. This affects your overall academic results and can cost you extra fees (e.g. second registration fee for a course).
