* The study year is organized into fall and spring semesters. The fall semester is generally the first semester of the study year, and the spring semester is the second one. The Senate can determine the simultaneous beginning of the study year so that the spring semester is designated as the first (odd) semester and the fall semester as the second (even) semester of the particular study program. For students enrolling in the study program in the spring semester, the first study year starts with the spring semester, per the date set in Academic Calendar. | ||||||||
** Observed for those who celebrate. | ||||||||
*** The days of classes overlapping with the days of holidays are obligatorily compensated and communicated to students upon the schedule of the respective teacher. |
