During this stage you can request to join launched classes, though the request alone does not guarantee a place in a group. In case of very popular courses, chosen by more students than there is places, after the completion of this stage, a ranking list will be drawn and places in the group awarded to students highest on the list. Therefore, it is advisable to plan your enrollment strategy well: choosing a less popular group you do not run the risk of having your declaration deleted after the ranking list is drawn.

This shall not apply to the courses determined as mandatory in the curriculum.
Rules for withdrawal from classes:

  • You can only withdraw from courses that are not mandatory, which means that you cannot withdraw from basic courses, major courses, and major electives, languages and Physical Education classes. In addition, you cannot withdraw from repeated courses. Withdrawing from the repeated course will result in the inability to pass the semester.
  • Each of the courses available in the form is described in a way that suggests whether it is possible to unsubscribe from it or not. However, due to the different status of the same courses for individual students (related to different fields of study, etc.), the above-mentioned information should be treated only as an indication requiring verification (i.e. checking with an individual program and study plan).
  • In the form, the student has the opportunity to choose only one course.
  • The choice of the course made by the student is recorded in the database. However, during the period when the form is available, it is possible to change the decision and choose another course from the list or completely withdraw the request.
  • In the case of courses starting in the middle of the semester, it will not be possible to withdraw electronically (i.e. you will have to submit an application with a request to unsubscribe; the application should refer to paragraph 23 point 12 of Rules and Regulations).
  • After the deadline to submit the request, the Dean after verification of the applications makes the decision. Indicating the subject and submitting the request for unsubscription in the system is not tantamount to accepting the application.
  • If the decision to withdraw from a given course is positive, then the annotation “Course deleted” will appear in the “Decision” column (otherwise the annotation “Application rejected” will appear).
