Leaving procedure

At the end of the academic year, each student is required to go through the so-called 'Leaving Procedure' which includes the following:

1. fill out the on-line graduation form
2. submit the 'Leaving Form' signed by each major administrative unit indicating that the individual has no outstanding debts or obligations to the university.

Failure to submit the form, or unresolved obligations, will result in the withholding of the individual's diploma and other university services, according to the CEU Policy on Holds.

Those students who finish their studies during the academic year (e.g. failed, enrollment terminated, left) will still be required to complete the 'Leaving Form'. Moreover, since their student status is terminated at CEU, these student must invalidate their visas at the Immigration Office in Budapest by personally visiting this office. It is CEU's obligation to notify the Immigration Office in writing about the changes in student status and students who fail to follow this procedure may face serious problems with the local authorities.
