Regulations valid from October 1, 2024

Detailed regulations on registration to subsequent study stages at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering 

§1

Passing courses

1. Types of classes that can be completed within a course, include, inter alia: lectures, tutorials, project classes, laboratory classes and seminars.
2. Passing a course consists of verification of learning outcomes achieved by the student in all classes completed within the course.
3. A course completed in a given semester in the form of various types of classes shall end with a final grade determined according to course regulations.
4. Passing a course gives the student the number of points laid down in the study programme according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
5. Failure to pass a course at the given study stage shall entail the requirement to retake the classes of the course, i.e., retaking the course, taking an equivalent course or a course from the same group of courses depending on the study programme.
6. If within the retaken course, classes of various types are conducted, the student may be exempt from the requirement to retake some classes for which the achieved learning outcomes were verified positively. The conditions of such exemption shall be laid down in the course regulations.

§2

Grading system

1. The extent of achievement of learning outcomes for a given course shall be determined with the grading scale laid down in the Academic Regulations at the Warsaw University of Technology.
2. At the end of the semester, one grade is given in each course, regardless of the division of the classes into lectures, tutorials and laboratories.
3. Obtaining the unsatisfactory grade (2.0) is equivalent to failing a course.

§3

General rules of registration for subsequent study stages

1. The basis of registration for another semester is the sum of the number of credits (ECTS) awarded for the courses passed.
2. The nominal number of ECTS points is 30 per semester.
3. Obtaining the number of ECTS points no lower than the product of the number of completed semesters of study and the nominal number of ECTS in a semester is equivalent to meeting full registration requirements.
4. Registration for the subsequent study stage (semester or year) is based on meeting minimum registration requirements provided below.
5. Obtaining the number of ECTS points smaller than full registration requirements but no less than minimum requirements provided in the table is equivalent to conditional registration.
6. A student who fails to meet minimum registration requirements may apply for conditional registration for a subsequent study stage. A student of the last semester of study who failed to meet the requirements determined in the study programme may apply for re-registration to the last semester of study.
7. A student who has met full registration requirements but failed to submit the diploma thesis within the specified deadline, may apply for extension of the deadline of diploma thesis submission by 3 months.
8. A full-time student may obtain registration for a period no longer than two semesters over the nominal study duration. Leaves of absence are not included in the limit of maximum study duration.
9. Re-registration (extension of the nominal study duration) may be obtained for the last semester in the study programme.
10. A student who fails to meet the minimum registration requirements and failed to submit the application for conditional registration for the subsequent study stage or application for re-registration to the last semester of study or application for extension of the deadline of diploma thesis submission within the deadline laid down by the Dean’s Office, or if the Dean rejected the above listed applications, shall be struck off the register of students.

§4

Detailed regulations on registration for a subsequent study stage, minimum registration requirements – first-cycle full-time and part-time programmes

1. In first-cycle programmes, registration is conducted in September in the registration period laid down in the academic calendar. The basic study stage is the academic year.
2. In the basic option, without breaks in studying (leaves of absence), registration is conducted subsequently for the second year of study, third year of study and the seventh (last) semester of study. Students who had breaks in studying may be last registered for a full academic year.
3. For students of the last semester of study, the decision on re-registration for the 7^th semester may also be taken in the registration period after the winter semester (a full-time student may be re-registered twice for semester 7).
4. The numbers of ECTS points which constitute minimum registration requirements for subsequent study stages for students without breaks in studying are presented in the table below:

     5. The numbers of ECTS points which constitute minimum registration requirements for subsequent study stages for students who had a one-semester break in studying are presented in the table below (registration in September):

§5

Detailed regulations on registration for a subsequent study stage, minimum registration requirements – second-cycle full-time and part-time programmes

1. In second-cycle programmes registration is conducted after the winter and summer semester in the registration period laid down in the academic calendar. The basic study stage is a semester.
2. Registration for a subsequent semester is based on the sum of the number of credits (ECTS) awarded for the courses passed.
3. The numbers of ECTS points which are the minimum registration requirements for specific study stages are presented in the table:
