    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.

  • Settling Academic Debts and Retaining Enrollment Status

    •  Academic Debt – failure to fulfill a student’s obligations as specified in a course and/or failure to complete or pass an assessment by the specified deadline.

      Failing grades: 1; 2; 3

      Did not attend: N

      Did not take the exam: NP

      Must repeat the course: AK

      Examination sheet – a document in the LAIS system in which the instructor enters the grade and date of the test or exam.


    • If you have accumulated academic debts (not exceeding 24 credits) after the semester, you will be placed in the "budget with an asterisk" group. To retain your budget spot, you must settle or pay off these debts by the specified deadlines.

      Key deadlines:

      ·        Fall semester – by October 31

      ·        Spring semester – by March 31

       

      Attention! By these dates, your grades must already be registered in the LAIS system. If the deadline is not met, the student will be transferred to the fee-paying group and will henceforth cover tuition fees from personal funds.

       

      What should you do to resolve academic debts?

       

      All applications (addressed to the dean) must be sent to the email: itf@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.
