Registration information

All registrations must be saved on the IS-Academia system, plateform for the official registration.
The deadlines of the academic calendar must be respected.
No late registration is accepted without good reasons.
The Faculty secretariat does not confirm registrations. Sitel’s emails are authoritative for the status of exam registrations.

Registration is compulsory at the beginning of each semester, for each course you wish to follow, within the deadlines set by the academic calendar.
Once the course has been registered, the exam is automatically and compulsorily registered for the session immediately following the end of the course concerned.
Only the first registration for the exam is automatic.

For the second and subsequent registrations, it is the student’s responsibility to register either for the assessment in the following retake or for the assessment corresponding to the semester in which the course is being given again.
Registrations will be completed by the deadlines set out in the academic calendar for exam registrations.

Students who fail the exam of a course taken the previous year only register for that same exam again (for the semester of the first registration).
It is possible to follow the new course, without registering for it and informing the professor that the exam will be taken on the subjects of the previous year.

No automatic registration for the exam is made for courses outside the Faculty.
Registrations made outside the Faculty must be done by the student in accordance with the instructions and deadlines of the Faculty providing the teaching.

Assessments

The official assessment procedures are those set out in the study plan for the programme concerned:

E: written exam during the end-of-semester exam session.
EI: internal assessments organised during the semester.
O: oral exam during the end-of-semester exam session.

Retake exam after 1 or 2 failures: unless otherwise specified in the course description, 2-hour written examination during the end-of-semester exam session or the retake exam session.

The assessment procedures and duration of the exams are specified in the course description.

All grades are accessible on internet by logging on to IS-Academia.
If the student so wishes, he or she may request, by post (email or letter) to the Faculty secretariat, that his or her grades be communicated in writing within one week of publication of the grades on internet.
If written communication is requested, the appeal period begins with this notification.
Definitive failures are automatically notified by registered letter.

Exams are kept for one year.
They may be consulted, preferably within one month of the publication of the results. Students may consult their exam, including the grading scale, and be given an oral explanation of their results. During the consultation, which lasts a maximum of 15 minutes, the student may not take notes nor photographs.
To consult the exam, an appointment must be made either with the professor/assistant or with the secretariat of the concerned institute.
Consultation is not permitted 15 days before an exam session.

If you give up your studies, Student Services can deliver a course attendance certificate containing your transcript of grades and credits.

The grade transcript constitutes a decision, within the meaning of art. 3 of the Administrative Procedure and Jurisdiction Act (LPJA) of 27 June 1979, only for the subjects examined in the last session and, where applicable, for the other results of the previous semester.
In accordance with art. 98 of the University Act (LUNE) of 2 November 2016 and the Administrative Procedure and Jurisdiction Act (LPJA) of 27 June 1979, this decision may be appealed to the Commission de recours de l’Université de Neuchâtel at the Tribunal régional du Littoral et du Val-de-Travers, Case postale 3173, rue de l’Hôtel-de-Ville 2, 2000 Neuchâtel, within 30 days of receipt.
The appeal must be submitted in two copies and must also state the contested decision, the grounds, the conclusions and any evidence.
