Starting from the 5th semester, educational financing will only be provided if the student can prove that they have completed what is “typically required” for each subject studied by the end of the 4th semester. You can receive this proof from the Examination Office.
Miscellaneous
The Examination Office is responsible for issuing your transcript of records, will help you to find your study documents, and also issues other certificates and attestations. The Examination Office also provides administrative assistance to the Examination Committees.
