All students need to know, understand and follow certain study-related rules and regulations established by the university. This includes being aware of the academic calendar and important dates, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n
On 9 November<\/strong>, the autumn semester reaches its halfway point. This means that the current semester will count as a studied semester<\/a> even if a student takes academic leave or withdraws from the university at their own request. This is important because progress towards completing the curriculum is assessed on the basis of studied semesters.<\/p>\nTaking academic leave<\/h3>\nStudents taking academic leave in the second half of the semester should be aware that the interrupted semester will count as a studied semester when assessing their progress towards completing the curriculum. The standard workload for each studied semester is 30 ECTS credits.<\/p>\nWithdrawal at the student\u2019s own request<\/h3>\nStudents admitted from the 2024\/25 academic year onwards to full-time Estonian-taught programmes without tuition fees or to tuition-waiver places in English-taught programmes must pay tuition fees for courses they have registered for but have not successfully completed if they withdraw from the university at their own request in the second half of the semester. Tuition fees are calculated based on course registrations and the price per credit point (PDF)<\/a>.<\/p>\nThis rule will also apply to students admitted before the 2024\/25 academic year starting from the 2027\/28 academic year.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 November \u2013 8 November\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t9 November marks halfway through the semester<\/h2>\nAfter half the semester has passed, the current autumn semester will count as a studied semester<\/a>.

Students taking academic leave in the second half of the semester should be aware that the interrupted semester will count as a studied semester when assessing their progress towards completing the curriculum. The standard workload for each studied semester is 30 ECTS credits.<\/p>\n
Students admitted from the 2024\/25 academic year onwards to full-time Estonian-taught programmes without tuition fees or to tuition-waiver places in English-taught programmes must pay tuition fees for courses they have registered for but have not successfully completed if they withdraw from the university at their own request in the second half of the semester.

This means they must have earned the required number of ECTS credits for this semester to meet study requirements.\nStudents\u2019 progress towards the completion of the curriculum is measured on the basis of completed (studied) semesters, the standard volume for each completed semester is 30 ECTS credits.<\/p>\nInterrupting studies at student\u2019s request<\/h3>\nStudents interrupting their studies at their own request on or after 9 November 2026 must pay the tuition fee for courses to which they have registered but have not completed. The tuition fee is based on the credit point price (PDF)<\/a>. This applies to the students admitted as of 2024\/2025, of both Estonian and English-taught curricula in tuition-waiver student places.
