Retake of Courses
Retake of Courses and Improvement of Grades
The course assessment criteria are described in detail in the course implementation plan and discussed on the first lesson of the course.
The examination or other assessed performance directly belonging to the course implementation is mainly organised during the course. Exceptional examination or completion methods are described in the specifications to the degree programme curricula. If you do not pass or do not take part in the examination, you have two retake attempts left. If you are unable to present an acceptable reason for your absence in an examination or retake, the absence is considered as fail. For example, an illness or some other compelling obstacle is considered an acceptable reason.
Retaking Exams, Improving Grades
A failed performance can be retaken twice on the days determined by the teacher. Parts of courses can only be retaken if separately agreed on with the teacher. The teacher of the course informs about the retake days in the implementation plan and at the beginning of the course. Retakes are mainly to be completed during the same academic year. If you do not pass any of the retakes, you have to re-enrol on the course and complete it as agreed on with the teacher.
You have the right to try to improve the grade of passed courses once normally in connection with the course retake examination. Passed courses cannot be recompleted. You have the right to complete a transferred course on the head of degree programme's decision.
