I handed over with the commission 2 times. What is an extra session? One problem after another

Most students are afraid of the word “retake”, they don’t even want to hear about the commission. We asked students from five different faculties and found out that you can prepare for the commission in five days, and there is life at the university after three failures

Masha. 3 course. Advertising and public relations

unexpected date

In my first session, I failed logic. The retake did not improve my situation, and I went to the commission.

Everyone was silent about the date of the commission. No messages came to the post office, the training subsided. I decided to ask the teacher myself. He replied: "Tomorrow." This news stunned me! I had to prepare the night before the commission.

New experience

I was a little nervous, other students behaved calmly, some even came completely relaxed. Fortunately, the tasks were exactly the same in complexity as in the retake, and our seminarian and lecturer accepted.

The teachers did not observe very strictly, several times they left the classroom.

At the end, when we had already handed in the work, many guys were left to wait for the assessment, and if someone lacked 0.2 or 0.5 points, then the inspectors tried to reach them: they asked additional questions, they asked again.

Commissions are serious.

Students from other courses and faculties, including fourth-year students from the Minor in Philosophy, passed with us. Those of them who did not pass were immediately sent for expulsion. This situation had a strong impact on me, and I realized that a failed commission could end badly.

3 course. Faculty of Informatics and Computer Engineering

One problem after another

In my first year, I failed discrete mathematics and ended up on a commission.

According to the rigidity of the conduct, it did not differ from the exam and retake. Nevertheless, it seemed to me that the questions were simpler at the commission, although the attitude of the teacher did not change at all.

Because of the preparation for the Commission on Discrete Mathematics, I did not have time to prepare for the Difur exam and did not pass it. After the winter session, I went to the commission for difurs.

Difficulties arose with this commission: it was not very comfortable to hand it over. There were three teachers, one of them found fault and asked strange questions from other sections and areas of mathematics. But I managed to get out and passed everything.

Training will notify

The study helped me a lot. Her employees planned and adjusted the retake schedule specifically for me and several other people. They themselves called me and informed me on what day the retake was scheduled.

Cure for 8 debts

At the summer session, I fell ill, but managed to get a certificate and had to pass all the exams in the new academic year. In the fall, I realized that I have eight debts, and if I manage to close them, I will not have time to prepare for a new session. I decided to finish only those subjects that I need to transfer to the course back. I used to study Applied Mathematics, now I could be in my third year. However, I transferred to another faculty for the second year.

Way out

This translation is my initiative because I wanted to change direction. I had few options: either transfer to another university without losing a year, or stay here on the same course. A number of subjects have already been credited to me, in the first module I took only one discipline.

They made an IEP for me. Now I'm on a paid basis, but I still pay part of the cost, since some of the items have already been credited. Payment is formed by loans: when an IEP is compiled, they look at how many subjects you have, what loans they have, and the cost of education is calculated.

It's hard to hand over your first commission on an emotional level. However, it is worth remembering that this is the same exam, only a little more teachers take it. Often they realize that the issue is being resolved: to leave or expel a person from the university, and therefore they are patient with those who pass. For example, on my last commission I was asked leading questions and loyal to the answers.


4 course. Economics and statistics

Three misses

In the third semester, I did not pass the micro and financial markets. Then it turned out that the dean's office did not count English for this semester on the academic certificate from another university, although this was discussed in advance. As a result, I received three failures. In training, I was advised to try to take an IEP at a neighboring department or look for a way to transfer to other faculties. Management, logistics, public administration offered a transfer with the loss of a year. I was hindered by the difference in academic plans, its liquidation did not fit into the permitted annual loans.

I was able to transfer within the faculty: from the Department of Economics to Economics and Statistics. I know that when my classmate performed such an operation in the fourth semester, at the end of the second year, the academic difference did not allow him to do this and he was able to transfer only with the loss of a year.

The tutorial will tell

The possibility of transition depends on the manager of the faculty and on the timing. At the Faculty of Economics, for example, there are set deadlines for the transfer, and the decision on the transfer is given not by the manager, but by the transfer committee of the dean's office.

For those who face the same problem, I advise you to read the regulation on external and internal transfers at the Higher School of Economics. Everything is described in detail there.

I also advise you to meet the deadlines and in no case delay the process! If you feel that you are forming three failures, report to educational part. She will advise you on how to solve the problem. It may seem that I am promoting our educational part, but the studies, both economy and statistics, really go to help students in critical situations. On trifles, of course, they scold so as not to relax. But if the problem is big, they help to solve it.


Avetik. 3 course. Business Informatics

No time to prepare

In the first year, we passed all our exams in one week, and it so happened that math analysis became the last exam, it was scheduled for December 26th. I prepared well for all the other exams, I did not have marks below 6. However, there was no time left for math analysis, and I got 0.

Rumor has it that there is such a tradition in Business Informatics: from year to year, the first year fails this exam, and I and half of the course were no exception. In addition, during the module I did not pay attention to this subject, I received bad grades. I thought that before the exam I would learn everything, but it turned out to be more difficult than it looked at first glance.

Before the exam, I prepared for several days on the Matprofi website, thinking that this would definitely help me. I left the exam in high spirits: I did five tasks, and three are enough to pass. Soon the results came, and I saw a grade of 0. All the holidays were ruined: the first year, the first retake, given that I graduated from school with a gold medal and studied on a budget!

Confidence deceived

The retake was scheduled for February 2. I prepared hard for it. Confident came out of the audience, but got 28; I was two points short of credit. I went to the show of work, begged for these miserable two points, but the teacher adamantly refused to reach me, adding: "See you at the commission."

Fear in every pencil

It was scary at the commission: the examiners were afraid, looked at each other, nervous chuckles sounded from everywhere. I was seated at the very end of a huge auditorium, and next to me for half of the commission was the toughest teacher. It became a "great" addition to my fear and tricky tasks.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the tasks on the sheet - foul language. I absolutely did not understand what was written there. For about fifteen minutes I panicked, and then I got together and began to solve problems. I came out of there confident that I would be expelled, because everything was written very badly.

Friends support

Sometimes, if the student lacks a few points, the teacher asks him clarifying questions. Seeing me frustrated and shaking my head, two of my excellent students gave me a crash course mathematical analysis in 30 minutes. After that, I returned to the audience, waiting for my name to be called to find out the grade. They called me, and in the audience at my work I saw the number 36, the passing score was 30.

I carefully reviewed my decisions, looked into the eyes of the teacher, silently approached the door and shouted “Hurrah!” left the audience. I hugged all my friends, not friends, acquaintances and was happy. A few hours ago, I was sure that my days at HSE were numbered.

3 points - not a sentence

The most unpleasant thing in this whole situation is when your and other people's emotions are mixed. While I was happy about the standings, the girls were crying nearby because there were not enough points, the guys stood pale, mentally counting how much they would have to pay for the IEP.

I remember the guys who sat through to the end, and the teacher pulled everything out of them that he could for the test. One of my classmates got 27 points and went home sad. The teacher caught me, asked if this student was from my group? I answered yes. I immediately called my classmate, found him near the metro and brought him to the teacher. As a result, only two of our group remained at the IEP.

Commission No. 1

Applied in the first year software I had a very strict teacher with strict requirements, and I could not pass the first time.

The committee was busy. I prepared for it for about 2-3 weeks, doing the same thing on the computer ten, fifteen, twenty times a day, as much as I could. My hands were numb, my eyes hurt, my vision deteriorated. As I remember now, I was very nervous. When we sat on the commission, we typed with such speed that my shoulders became numb, and when I got up, I could not straighten my back or neck, they were wooden.

Half the girls were crying. When the results were announced, I was already crying, only from happiness.

Commission #2

My next commission was on macroeconomics. For me, she has become very ordeal, because I missed the whole course and came only for the second retake. I said that I should have an attempt to write a test and pass the first retake, to which they answered: "You want too much." I was completely unprepared for the macro retake, because the day before I had passed another retake in sociology. Then I was told that I would have only one attempt to pass the subject - on the commission.

How to learn a macroeconomics course in 5 days

I was lucky, I was preparing with a tutor - a teacher from another university. He sat with me from 12 am to 6 am on Skype and told me the whole course of macroeconomics. It was difficult, because in parallel with the preparation, I had to go to classes, do homework. I was very worried, because I had no idea what tasks would be on the commission. In a few days of preparation, I have already become like a zombie: during the day I have couples, in the evening I come home and learn something on my own, at night I study with a tutor, sleep a couple of hours and go to couples again.

Finally, the day of the exam arrived. Some students came to the commission with a micro-earphone, I also took it with me, but at first it did not connect to me, then it fell out of the second ear. I decided to leave this idea and went to take it without anything. Of the fifteen people, only two passed: me and another girl for the seven.

There is nothing wrong with commissions if you thoroughly prepare for them, that is, not just study everything with frantic eyes, you must at least understand some basics and show it to the commission.

Students cannot be expelled without being given the opportunity to close the "tails"

The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia sent a letter to all universities stating that it is not allowed to charge students for retaking exams (the document is at the disposal of Izvestia). In addition, the department clarified that the expulsion of students who were not granted the right to retake is illegal. So, if a student received an unsatisfactory mark in the exam, the university is obliged to provide him with two attempts to retake during the year. The Commissioner for Student Rights in Russia, Artem Khromov, said that he would monitor the observance of the law by universities and identify cases of unlawful expulsion.

Ministry explains

“It is not allowed to charge students for passing intermediate certification (including repeated intermediate certification in order to eliminate academic debt),” the Ministry of Education and Science informs universities.

As stated in the letter, the ministry receives a large number of complaints from students who are expelled for academic debt without the right to retake. In this regard, the department clarifies that such a procedure for deductions is contrary to current legislation.

According to Art. 58 FZ "On education in Russian Federation”, the university does not have the right to expel a student who has received unsatisfactory results in one or more disciplines immediately after the session. He should be “given the opportunity to pass an intermediate certification in the relevant subject, course, discipline (module) no more than twice within one year from the moment of formation of academic debt.

“Thus, a student can be expelled for academic failure only in the following case: the student has an unliquidated academic debt, the organization has twice set deadlines for re-intermediate certification in order to eliminate academic debt, the student has not eliminated academic debt on time,” the ministry explains. .

Students complain

Izvestia found examples of universities where, according to students, the law is violated. For example, as a student writes Russian University Friendship of Peoples (RUDN University) at the forum of the university, the retake of one subject costs 12 thousand rubles. However, only inveterate losers are sent to a paid retake.

Those who didn’t go at all or who didn’t do anything the whole semester in a certain subject rent for a fee! Even those who did poorly are given a chance to retake for free, says Dmitry.

As a student of the Ural State Law University (Ural State University of Law) said, it costs 10,000 rubles to retake an exam at a university. And at the Chita Institute of the Baikal State University of Economics and Law (CHI BSUEP) there is a system of paid repeated courses.

There is a practice that at the beginning of the year or at the beginning of the next semester, those who have exam debts are given two weeks to retake. If the student does not meet this deadline, then he is provided with an additional course of lectures on subjects that he cannot pass, for a fee (it costs 1 thousand rubles per subject), so that he can work with the teacher again, update some then knowledge, asked questions that he himself could not figure out, and then tried to retake it again, - said the student of the university.

Student of the Russian National Research Medical University named after N.I. Pirogova said that losers may not be allowed to retake.

If you have three deuces, then immediately expulsion, that is, in a session, for example, five exams, and the student failed the first three, then he is not allowed to the rest and to retake, respectively, too, she says. - And my friend was expelled last year due to the fact that she did not have enough attempts to pass. It was in the department of histology. According to the rules of the colloquium - intermediate knowledge control - you can take the teacher three times, if you don't pass, you go to the commission, where there are also three attempts. She was sent on a commission after two attempts. There she could not pass, since their goal is to remove as many students as possible and only a few pass there. Finally, due to one intermediate control she was expelled in one single subject.

Ombudsman confirms

The Commissioner for Student Rights in Russia, Artem Khromov, said that in some universities, the illegal expulsion procedure is even spelled out in the charters of institutions, in particular, in the St. economic university(SPBGEU), Dagestan state university(DGU), Siberian State University of Telecommunications and Informatics (SibGUTI), Far East federal university(FEFU), Ryazan State Radio Engineering University (RGRTU), etc. Basically, the violations are related to the fact that students are not allowed to the session without receiving credits or regulate the number of failed exams, after which expulsion occurs.

The Regulations on the current monitoring of FEFU progress states that “students with three or more academic debts are expelled from the university for academic failure. Students with academic debts in no more than two disciplines may be given the right to eliminate academic debts during an additional examination session.

- Complaints from students who are expelled for unsatisfactory results in exams without the right to retake come in all the time, Khromov says. -There are situations when students do not pass one test and they are not allowed to take exams at all. There may be objective or subjective reasons why a student did not pass a subject, but the right to access exams cannot be denied. Whether he will surrender later is another question, but such a right should be granted, he says.

The Student Ombudsman will monitor the observance of the law by universities - to identify cases of unlawful expulsion of students and retake fees.

There are also complaints from students about what they take cash for absenteeism and retakes. This is a "gray scheme", which suggests that a student who does not pass a subject must take an additional course of study. He is officially issued a check stating that the service has been rendered. In fact, this is extortion of bribes from students. Often, entire groups of students face such a problem. We are trying to fight this kind of corruption,” Khromov said.

Universities are justified

Representatives of universities reacted differently to accusations of violating the law - for example, the DSU admitted their mistake, while the Chelyabinsk university does not believe that they are acting illegally.

Aziza Gasangadzhiyeva, head of the educational and methodological department of DSU, noted that after receiving clarifications from the ministry, the university revised its internal documents.

This semester, after receiving an explanation, we no longer expelled. Previously, we were guided by our charter, which was approved by the Ministry of Education, where it was stated that if a student receives three or more unsatisfactory grades in a session, the student is expelled. Now the documents have already been revised, we are developing a new regulation and charter, which will take into account the explanation of the ministry, she said.

The FEFU press service explained that at the university during the session, students have an unlimited number of attempts to pass the exam.

In our session - for example, summer, from June 1 to June 30 - a student can take one subject an unlimited number of times. And if he closes it before the end of the session, then this is not considered a retake. Retake - this is if the attempt is transferred to the next semester. If a student has more than three debts, then he is deducted. But in each situation consider in individually. If a student has been ill all this time, then by the decision of the vice-rector, he may be allowed to repay debts gradually. But if he simply did not show up for classes, then most likely he would be expelled, - said the press service of the university.

Tamara Makarenko, director of the Chi BSUEP, confirmed that the practice of paid additional courses is widespread at the institute, but she considers this to be legal.

I responsibly declare that we do not have paid retakes, students are simply confused: they have the right to conclude an additional contract for the provision of paid educational services, where the number of hours during which the student will study with the teacher is specified. In total, they pay 1 thousand rubles, this price includes 4-6 hours of lectures, then practical exercises and consultations for the exam. Why is it illegal? These educational services are already outside the scope of the program. Any person from the outside can come to us and conclude such an agreement. We are ready for any test, - Makarenko is sure.

Boss legal management SPbSUE Pavel Smirnov noted that the regulation on the current monitoring of progress, in his opinion, does not contain a violation of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", however, in connection with the information received, the university will conduct an additional check for compliance with the provision of the law.

Other universities, whose students complain about the violations, were unable to promptly provide a comment.

For such violations, it is necessary to carry out checks and take measures to influence the rectors in order to prevent similar cases in other institutions, - says Viktor Panin, chairman of the Society for the Protection of the Rights of Consumers of Educational Services. - Illegal contributions are unlikely to occur in the non-state sector, since this is their income, and in state universities, this practice is most likely associated with corruption. The expulsion of a state employee under any far-fetched pretext and the transfer of "his" student who paid for it is one of the elements of corruption in universities. If the student was not given the right to retake the subject, or if money was taken from him for this, then this is a reason to go to court to protect his rights.

To the question Urgently! University dropout! I passed the test with a commission, a negative result, did I have the right to take it another time? given by the author European the best answer is The commission admission of the exam (test) is appointed after the student used two attempts to pass with an unsatisfactory outcome. To conduct a commission-based examination (test), by order of the faculty, a commission is formed, which includes: the dean of the faculty (or his deputy), the head of the department, the leading teacher and another teacher of the department teaching this discipline. If you were ill, then all medical certificates had to be submitted to the dean's office no later than three days after their closure by the attending physician. The certificates were not handed in on time, so their presence now will not affect the change in the current situation. It was necessary to talk with teachers not about the state of one’s health, but about the need to make up missed classes in individual plan, or in some other way. In other words, it was necessary to initially solve the problem and not bring it to a critical situation. The situation could be resolved by issuing an academic leave, but the platform is empty - the train has left.
In addition, deductions from a budgetary place may simply be necessary for someone to take it. But that's another question. The competence of the university includes the transfer of an underachieving student to a contractual (contract) form of education and, conversely, from a contract to a budget one, if available. budget places. This place is just being vacated.
Didn't feel well when passing the test!! ! But here's another twist... It was necessary to make sure in advance with a medical certificate. The due date was set in advance! ! It seems to me that such an approach would not solve the problem. It would only allow for some respite. It's just that the dean's office decided to eliminate its puncture. A student who did not pass at least one test should not have been admitted to the examination session at all.
Conclusion. There is only one way out - to study on a contractual (contract) basis. Otherwise, it is impossible to resolve the situation either theoretically or practically. As you can see, moral support failed.

Answer from worldview[guru]
I am not a very big expert in such matters, because I myself hand over everything on time, but I have seen enough of classmates who find themselves in such situations. I think it's too late to talk about what you could do, because the test has already been. If you were not confident in yourself or felt bad, then you shouldn’t have gone and on that day you had to call a doctor and warn the dean’s office about the illness, then you would have been transferred (they have nowhere to go). But since I went and didn’t pass, there’s nothing you can do about it. We also had that a person with a similar reputation took an exam with a commission and also failed and was expelled. As far as I know, surrender with a commission is the final chance, because before that they give extra. deadlines for the delivery of debts in addition to the main session, so I think that you have zero chances to stay on the budget ...
