Conditions for giving the course-unit credit
  * Full (100%) attendance in lab is the principal condition.

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.
  * Five revision tests are written in seminars, semestral limit for credit is 49/64.
  * If the semestral limit is not fulfilled, student must write the Credit test (limit 12/30).

One repetition of the Credit test is approved.


Deadline for any issue (making up all missing and justified lessons, passing the credit test)  is
22. 1. 2010.


Students that will not meet this requirement will not be given the course-unit credit.

Obtaining of course-unit credits of seminars is the pre-requisite for registration to the
examination of Medical chemistry and for enrollment of Biochemistry in the Spring semester.
