  • Information for 1st year students

  • Session and rotation

    In this section you can find the session timetable, binding documents, rotation results and samples of applications.


    Session - a periodic period of study (in higher and secondary special education institutions) during which tests and examinations are held; a periodic period of study (in part-time programmes in higher and secondary special education institutions) during which common classes, tests and examinations are held.

    Rotation is a competition for study places at Ventspils University College, which is financed from the budget funds and is organised every semester in 2 rounds. According to the student's level of achievements and the amount of academic debts, he/she has to take a certain rank in the course, which then determines whether the student can apply for a budget place and apply for a state budget scholarship.

  • Academic debts

    In this section you will find information about academic debts and how to settle them.

    Academic debt - failure to meet the obligations of the student in the course of study and/or failure to complete/ pass an examination within the prescribed time limits.
    Failing grades - grades less than four, failing, N (no-show), NP (failed). If AK (repeat course) is indicated, the student is not entitled to take the examination and must repeat the course of study for a fee according to the number of credits of the course of study in accordance with the price list of paid services approved by the Senate of the VUAS.
    Examination sheet - a document in the LAIS system in which the lecturer indicates the mark and the date of the examination.

    • Information for students with academic debts

    • Students with academic arrears of no more than 16KP at the end of the second calendar month of the following semester are placed in the temporary budget group. They must clear their academic debts by 31 March (spring semester) and 31 October (autumn semester) (grades must be registered in LAIS by 31 March/31 October) or pay to repeat the course the following year in order to keep their budget place until the end of the semester, otherwise after 31 March/31 October they will be placed in the fee group and will have to pay their tuition fees from their personal funds.

      To settle debts, the student must send an application for debt settlement to the Dean, addressed to the following e-mail address: itf@venta.lv, listing all courses in which debts exist:
      1. If the student has to retake an exam/test, the application must indicate a specific date by March 31 / October 31 when the retake will take place (to be agreed with the lecturer in charge).
      2. If the student has to repeat the course in the next semester, he/she should indicate "repeat".
      3. The application must be signed physically or electronically by all lecturers with whom the debts will be settled.
      The fee for retaking the examination is EUR 20. Once the payment orders have been received, the ITF Secretary will open the required examination sheets for the student in LAIS and the teachers will be able to enter the grades.

      If the student is unable to settle the debt by the deadline but wishes to keep the budget place, an application must be sent to the Dean requesting permission to re-attend the course in the following academic year. The fee for repeating a course is EUR 50 per 1KP. On the basis of the application for academic debts, the student will be issued with a Dean's Order to repeat the course and to repeat the examinations, signed by the Dean and the student. The Dean's order will calculate the amounts to be paid for the retake and indicate the procedure for payment. If the payment for the course retakes and/or the required final tests/exams have been made by 31 March/31 October, the student will be able to apply for a budget place until the end of the semester, but will rank behind those who have passed all the courses in the study plan.
      Payment must be received by 31 March/31 October with a copy of the payment order sent to itf@venta.lv.

      In case of any doubts or questions, please contact Linda Auziņa , ITF Administrative Assistant (linda.auzina@venta.lv)!

  • Internship

    Students planning to do a internship need to find an internship place and submit the relevant documents to the ITF Dean's Office before starting the internship. Before the start of the internship, the ITF Council approves the internship place and the internship supervisor for each student on the basis of the student's application. In case of a positive decision, a three-party internship agreement is concluded between the student, the internship place and the VUAS. The signing is organised by the ITF Secretary. Once the internship agreement is concluded, the student goes on the internship, documenting it according to the procedure laid down in the internship regulations.

    According to the study programme plan, the study programme director organises the defence of the internship, informing the students in advance about the course of the defence and the procedure for submitting documents. Before the defence of the internship, the student must submit to the ITF Dean's Office all documents related to the internship, in accordance with the specific internship regulations.

    In agreement with the programme director, students may also undertake the internship earlier, for example, during the summer period.
