Knowledge Assessment

HSE Academic Regulations
HSE's academic regulations apply uniformly to all students. To excel in a course, we strongly recommend that students attend all lectures and seminars, diligently prepare their assignments, and adhere to deadlines for essays, reports, and other submissions. 

Assessment Structure in HSE Prep Year Programs
Student assessment in the HSE Prep Year programs consists of three components: routine assessment, intermediate assessment, and final assessment.
1. Routine Assessment: Conducted throughout the course, this assessment facilitates independent study and systematically monitors students' academic progress.
2. Intermediate Assessment: This evaluation occurs at the end of a module and assesses the knowledge students have gained during that segment of the academic subject. Note that not all subjects require intermediate assessments.
3. Final Assessment: At the conclusion of a course, students will undertake a final assessment, which is primarily conducted in written form as an exam or pass-fail test.

Exam Schedule
Official exam schedules are released one week prior to the exam period and can be found on the HSE Prep Year webpage.

Late Arrival or Absence from an Exam
Students must arrive at the exam venue at the time specified in the exam schedule. Please note that late arrivals will not receive additional time. Absence due to illness is considered a valid excuse, if supported by a medical certificate, which must be submitted to the HSE International Prep Year Office on the first day of recovery as indicated on the certificate. Work-related or family-related reasons (such as business trips, office hours, or celebrations) are not accepted as valid excuses for missing an exam.
Students, who provide valid reasons for their absence, or those who attend but do not pass the exam, may be eligible to retake the exam.
