Neptun manual
Enrollment/semester registration

Enrollment is necessary once after admission to the university in order to establish student legal status. In this case accepted students must fill in and submit enrollment request via the Neptun educational system, in which they check, modify and complete their data and make the necessary statements in order to start their studies. The student status is established through the acceptance of this request. Registration is the process that must be repeated in the beginning of every semester, in which a statement has to be made on the activation or passivation of the semester.

The enrollment form and the declaration window on the status (active/passive) of the current semester can be accessed from the Administration / Term Registration menu. In this menu both the current and previous semester registration periods will be displayed, but the Register button will only be active under the current semester.

You can only enroll and register during the enrollment and registration period specified in your faculty’s academic calendar! If the Register button does not appear, this may be due to other administrative reasons, in which case you should contact the Registrar’s Office/Study Department of your faculty.

Subject and course registration

The Register for subjects menu is available from the drop-down menu on the left, or from the Subject main menu. Subject registration is a two-stage admission procedure: you must register to a subject and a course at the same time. Thus, in the list of subjects displayed, you can access additional courses under a subject, from which you must choose one or more to successfully register.

Multiple filters help you to select the right subjects during subject registration. First of all, the Term filter narrows down the subjects that can be taken for the current semester. You can also filter the results by subject type, subject code/name, curriculum, subject group, language, recommended term, course lecturer, course code, class date interval. If the Keep additional filters open checkbox is not ticked, it is worth checking in later semesters whether a filter criterion (e.g. an interval) is stuck in the search, which would prevent the new search from returning all results.

The Subject type filter divides the range of subjects into three groups:

  • Subjects from curriculum: this is linked to the Curriculum filter, which can be used to narrow down the list to compulsory or optional subjects required in the training. During the course of your training, you may have to take subjects from more than one curriculum.
  • Other elective subjects: In this case, you can take electives from the optional subjects connected to your curriculum, rather than from the main curriculum. A certain percentage of the required number of credits can be taken without any curricular constraints. The filter narrows down the list to the electives offered by the faculty – if the faculty of the training does not provide for electives, there will be no match.
  • All other subjects in the institution: independent of the curriculum, please use this type of search to find all your courses. 

It is particularly useful to use the Subject group filter, since the curricula consists of subject groups based on their scope or compulsory nature.

Based on the criteria set in the filter, the program displays the subjects that can be registered by clicking on the Search subject button. The results can be sorted alphabetically, recommended semester, registration type and credits. The list will also show subjects that have been previously completed if the View completed subjects checkbox in the filter panel is ticked.

The search results will show the title, registration type, credit value, code and subject group of the advertised subjects. In the subject row, different icons indicate if the subject has already been taken, has been added to the planner, is on the waiting list or is in the process of being registered.

At the end of each row, the Add to planner toggle can be used to add a chosen course to your class schedule planner. Adding a course to the plannor does not mean succesfull registration to the course, but it can assist in planning your entire timetable. A push notification will notify of the success or failure of adding the course to the planner.

 

To register for a subject, you need to click the Take subject button after selecting a course for the subject. Only one registartion can be started at the same time, but you can immediately start a new registration afterwards. You will receive a push-notification for every registration started. The notification details the reason if the registration was unsuccessful.

Class schedule planner

Although subject and course registration is only possible during the specified period, you can plan ahead. In this case, the class schedule planner function of the study system collects the courses you want to add, and then you can add courses from the planner with a few clicks once the registration period starts.

You can open the Class schedule planner from the bottom left corner of the Register for subject menu. The planner can be displayed in weekly, monthly and list view. In the weekly and monthly view, only courses that have timetable information are displayed.

Course exchange

It may be the case that several courses of the same type are offered under the same subject, from which one must be chosen. The choice can be changed later without the student having to withdraw from the course. To do this, click on the Course exchange button in the Register for subject menu under the subject’s title. You can then tick the checkbox next to the courses of the subject to select the course you want to change to, and then click on the Course exchange button to drop the previously added course, at the same time register for the the selected course.

The Exchange function allows you to take a different exam date for the same course at the same time as you drop an exam you have already taken. In case of electronic exams, from the start of the exam, the Starting the exam button will also be available:

In the Taken exams menu, you can view all the past and remaining exams taken per subject. The interface automatically filters the exams for the current semester, this setting can be changed by clicking on the Filter drop-down button.

Based on the data stored in Neptun, the program fills all the fields where pieces of information are available in the system. The student can replace or correct the missing data, so during the subsequent data reconciliation, it is worth checking the data accurately and, if necessary, correcting it on the data sheet or in Neptun system if you have the right authorization.
