After this deadline, no changes can be made, and the PSP becomes binding for the student, i.e., the student must complete all enrolled courses (including optional), or they will NOT BE ADMITTED TO THE STATE FINAL EXAM, even if the number of credits is sufficient. It is not possible to make changes in the PSP for the winter semester in the summer semester.

First-year students must choose a foreign language for the summer semester immediately after enrollment.
The first-year full-time students must also choose a sport. Information about the range of sports on offer and sports facilities can be found in IS Edison in the section - Schedule, tab - Choice of sport.
