If any absence, it must be apologized through Department of Study Affairs up to five days. If apology is recorded in Information System (IS), then student is allowed to make up the absence according to teacher's instructions. * Two revision tests are written during the semester, limit for credit is 21points. * If the semestral limit is not fulfilled, student must write the Credit test (limit 9/20). All absences must be made up before writing the credit test. * One repetition of the Credit test is approved.
