Dear Students!
In order to help you to overview your tasks we have summarized them and the necessary information in connection with the registration for the final exam, checking your data, the termination of your student status and acceptance of your diploma.
You will have more data checking and correction duties, and have to follow the instructions and news of the departments where you intend to take your final exam! The CAO does not have information about how the departments will carry out the actual exams, so PLEASE, turn to them for specific information!
1. Declaration of your intent to take the final exam

You have to choose the period related to your specialization or the department where you plan to take your final exam. Beside the name of the final exam period the dates and times of the start and end of the period, the module name, the dates and times of the start and end of the final exam registration period (if the period is open) and a green tick (if you have already chosen the period) can also be seen.

If the deregistration is not permitted by the Faculty or the registration/deregistration period is over and you have a serious reason to deregister from your final exam please turn to the department where you intended to take your final exam.
1.3 Final exam registration at the department
Beside the final exam registration in Neptun, departments can prescribe other ways to inform them about your intention to take your final exam. Please be informed about the details (including the exact place, date and time of your final exam) at your department in time.
2. Checking your results in Neptun
After completing the 2020/21/1 term please check if all your results (signatures and marks) are in Neptun correctly. If anything is mistaken or missing please turn to the responsible department to correct the mistake. In case you have an uncompleted subject, which you do not have to and will not complete, please notify your CAO coordinator. It is also advised to check your credits, and the 0 subject requirements (ex: PE, internships, etc.), too. If you have completed all the subjects necessary for your final exam, your legal relationship with the university will seize.
3. Checking your personal data in Neptun
After checking (and managing) your results in Neptun please check your personal data under My data/Personal information and /Previous qualifications and /Contact information, too. If you can find anything mistaken or missing please correct it, or if you cannot do it please submit an E999 request to initiate the changes.
4. Checking your liabilities in Neptun
To check if you still have any liabilities please select Finances/Payment/All terms and All status and click List. If you can find any unpaid liabilities please pay them as soon as possible because according to BME regulations you are not allowed to take final exam if you have unpaid liabilities.
5. Final exam periods, date of the termination of your student status
In the 2020/21/1 term the Faculties have published their final exam periods of the following start and end dates:

Your student status will seize with the 31st of January 2021.
The deadline to pass the final exam is the second year after the termination of the student status. After the second year of the termination of the student status, a final exam can be taken only according to the actual curriculum if the subject of the final project is still considered up-to-date. If it is not then a new final project has to be worked out before the final exam. After the fifth year of the termination of the student status final exam is not allowed to be taken.
6. Date, time and place of your final exam, absence from the exam
The department organizing your final exam will inform you about the exact date, time and execution of the exam.
If you miss your final exam you have 8 days to justify your absence at the organizing department. Unjustified absence reduces by one the number of options available for you to pass your final exam.
7. Acceptance of the diploma
The condition of issuing the diploma is the successful final exam. Its official deadline is the 30th day after the successful final exam.
In this extraordinary situation we do not know anything exact, but you will receive further information about how you will be able to pick up your diploma, and how you will be able to request digital copies of your documents.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Wishing you successful final exam:
BME CAO, Office of International Education
