I. Study review

Study reviews are carried out under Art. 18 of the Study and Examination Code for Students of CTU in Prague (hereinafter SEC). The following reviews are carried out:

  1. Review of the number of credit units for continuation of study in the next academic year.
  2. Review of the fulfilment of study duties during study.

The review of the number of credit units for continuation of study consists in checking if the student has fulfilled the minimum number of credit units for the past semester or academic year of study under Art. 18 par. 5 of SEC.*
Credit units for courses registered and recognized under Art. 17 par. 10 of SEC are not considered as credit units received during this semester or academic year. They are only included in the total sum of credit units received by the student.
The review of the fulfilment of the minimum number of credit units is carried out by the Student Registrar, always at registration for the winter semester, and in the first year of study also at registration for the spring semester of study.

During the study, the following review of the fulfilment of study duties is carried out: The review of the fulfilment of all study duties for the whole study, i.e. the duty of gaining all credits, classified credits and passing all examinations in courses prescribed by the study plan, in programmes with a standard time of study of 1.5 or 2 years respectively must be carried out no later than within two, or three years of study after the last registration for the study programme. The last day considered for the fulfilment of this review is the last day of the exam session immediately preceding the registration for the third, or fourth year of study. The application for review must be submitted by the student to the Student Registrar no later than with the registration for the diploma thesis.

 

II. Succession of courses

The study plan specifies the succession of courses. By succession of courses is understood the fulfilment of all prescribed study requirements (such as a credit, classified credit, or an examination) for the respective course which precede the examination in this course, unless otherwise stated by the Recommended Study Plan.

Example:course coderequired succession
  101MA2 z,zk101MA1

A student may only take the examination in 101MA2 supposing he/she has successfully completed course 101MA1, i.e. gained a credit (z) for it and passed an examination (zk) in it.

 

III. Preconditions for admission to the final graduation examination

  1. The student is obliged to apply for the final graduation examination (hereinafter FGE) in writing no later than 30 days before the FGE date through the Student Registrar.
  2. FGE may be taken by a student who has met the following conditions:
    1. is a student of the Faculty of Civil Engineering,
    2. has fulfilled all this/her study requirements set for the whole period of study, i.e. has gained all credits, classified credits and passed all examinations in the courses set by the study plan, as of the day of registration for the diploma thesis,
    3. submitted the diploma thesis in the required term.

Approved by the Scientific Committee of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, CTU in Prague on 10th of May 2007.

 

* Wording of Art. 18 par. 5 of SEC:
The minimum number of credit units necessary for continuation of study is as follows:

Time of studyBachelor study programmeMaster study programme
for the first semester of study 1520
for the first academic year (2 semesters) 3040
for each following academic year of study (2 semesters) 4040
for each following academic year of study (2 semesters) if a student was not a CTU student for part of the academic year (due to interruption of study, or transfer) 2020

A different number of credit units may be set by the Dean under Art. 17 par. 9 to 11.
