Starting this semester, students no longer have the opportunity to submit late course registration requests to be registered for courses after the deadline. However, in exceptional cases, you may request to have a registered course deleted or modified (e.g. changing the seminar of a registered subject) until the end of the 4th week of the study period (2 October). In this case, you also have to pay a registration fee.

 

Please also note the "Class schedule planner" (a function on Neptun with which students can plan their timetable in advance) does not show your official and finalized course selection. Courses which are added to the "Class schedule planner" are not registered yet.


Please do not forget that classes start in the second week of September (5-9 September). Absences count from this week onwards.

 

2. INFORMATION ON SELECTING COURSES ON NEPTUN:
On Neptun you can have a look at the registration/subject registration periods under „Information”, then „Periods” (Please choose: 2022/23/1).
Students register on Neptun on their own under Administration, then Enrollment/Registration, Choose 2022/23/1, Enroll, Term status: Active or Passive. Registration is obligatory, passive status must be registered as well. If a student has unpaid items on Neptun or he/she has pending tuition fees, selecting active/passive student status and course selection is disabled.


In case you have any kind of Neptun technical problem relating to subject registration, please contact your faculty administrator from the International Office, Faculty of Engineering via email by providing your Neptun-code and full name. He/she will remove the technical failure so that you can complete the subject registration on your own. Contact details (International Office, Faculty of Engineering)

Subject registration on Neptun: under “Subjects”, then “Register for subjects”. When registering, term 2022/23/1 should be selected. Note: On the right there is a drop down menu where the curriculum or the stream can be selected on Neptun. Some courses are available if the curriculum in question is selected (e.g. Mechanical Eng. BSc 2017), others are available if the stream in question (e.g. Operation and Maintenance Specialization) is chosen. Please do not forget to register for both lecture and practice/seminar if both of them are available. Please always read the "note" and "description" fields on Neptun which contain essential technical information about the course. For example, a course can have more than one group. Some groups are meant for Civil Eng. BSc students, others are meant for Mechanical Eng. or Mechatronic Eng. BSc students (to avoid timetable conflict/clash). If the subjects do not appear in your timetable on Neptun for some reason, please check the time and venue of the class under “Subjects”, “Registered subjects”, then click on the “Subject name”.

If you need to take an exam course or a comprehensive exam, please sign up for it in the subject registration period (on Neptun under "Register for subjects") so that you can register for an exam date in the exam period. Later on (during the study period or the examination period) it will not be possible to register for an exam course or a comprehensive exam. In case you want to take an exam course but it is not available on Neptun, please contact the course instructor or the administrative assistant from the department. (An exam course does not have scheduled classes. It is an opportunity for students who have already obtained the signature in a course ending with an exam grade. Students can take the exam in the particular exam course in the examination period. The grade for the next unit can only be submitted on Neptun if the grade has previously been submitted for the exam course/prerequisite course.)

Also, in general, if a course is supposed to be available on Neptun but it is not (e.g courses from curricula before 2017), please get in touch with your administrative officer from Faculty of Engineering, International Office without delay in the subject registration period. You might be required to fill out a request form so that you can be registered for the given course.

 

In case you have obtained the signature previously in a course and intend to take the next unit which is built upon it, please get in touch with your administrator from the International Office, Faculty of Engineering and ask him/her to help you with subject registration.

In this case, please note that according to the Rules and Regulations of the University of Debrecen, "Same-semester registration for courses building upon each other is possible if the student obtained the semester signature of the prerequisite courses in an earlier semester. Examination requirements of courses need to be completed in the sequence designated in the prerequisites, and failing to do so will result in the Education Committee destroying achieved results."

 
In order to help you follow the right order, we will disable exam registration in case of the parallelly registered subjects built on others, so we would like to ask you to let us know when the grade of the prerequisite subject gets entered in the Neptun system in the exam period so that we can unlock the exam registration for the subjects built on them.
 
Please note that this will not affect exam registration for other subjects.

For more information on the exam period, please click here.

 


Note: If you started the Civil Eng. BSc program in 2017/18/1 for instance, then generally speaking the 2017 curriculum of Civil Engineering BSc applies to you. To make sure, please check your own curriculum on Neptun under "Subjects", "Register for subjects", "Curriculums".
At our faculty, some courses are available only in the autumn semester (semester 1, 3, 5, 7), others only in the spring semester (semester 2, 4, 6, 8).

 

When registering for courses, please take into account the prerequisites. Only those courses may be registered whose prerequisites have been fulfilled. If, due to Neptun technical problem or administrative failure, you are able to register for a course without having completed the prerequisite course(s) before, the administrator has the right to delete your course registration on Neptun.
Regarding the system of prerequisites, please see page 89 article 6 section 7 in the Rules and Regulations.
Timetables will shortly appear here:
https://eng.unideb.hu/en/node/209
For the time being please check Neptun for timetable information.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
Please check your Neptun messages and emails on a daily basis because they are the primary means of communication at the university.
Please ensure that your email address on Neptun (under “My data”, “Contact information”, “Email addresses”) is up to date. Update it if necessary because most Neptun messages (sent by lecturers, administrators) are automatically forwarded to the email address given on Neptun.

Automatic Neptun messages (grade modifications, exam date announcement, subject/course registration) are not necessarily forwarded to your email address. On Neptun under "Messages" (menu bar on the left), please select "Settings", then "Message Forwarding". Here you can select what type of Neptun messages (e.g. messages concerning exam grade registration, or subject/course registration) you wish to be forwarded to your email address.

Please also check your personal data on Neptun (e.g. first name, family name, mother’s name, country of birth, place of birth, etc...) under “My data”, “Personal information”. Should something be missing or wrong, please contact the Coordinating Centre for International Education.

 

Kind regards,
International Office, Faculty of Engineering
