Temporary and Final Provisions

examination is not recognized (nostrified) by the end of the winter semester, this UCP Study Contract expires
on the day when the UCP student delivers confirmation of unsuccessful completion of the school-leaving
examination or non-recognition of the school-leaving examination. In such a case, the student is not obliged to
pay tuition fees, the UCP will return the paid tuition fees to the student after paying the handling fee when
returning the tuition fees due to non-entry of studies for a serious reason according to Annex 1 of this UCP Study
Contract; the agreement of the part of the sentence before the semicolon does not apply if the UCP Study
Contract expires according to the first sentence of this paragraph after 30.9., in such a case the student is obliged

other fees related to the completion of the study.

fulfill his / her study obligations, does not participate in teaching or, without proper notification to the UCP,
interrupts his / her study, or does not start his / her study at all after signing this UCP Study Contract, is not in
itself a reason to terminate this UCP Study Contract. In these cases, the UCP is always considered to be properly
fulfilling its obligations to the student under this UCP Study Contract, and is therefore entitled to payment of
tuition fees for the entire academic year.
4. In the case that the student voluntarily abandons the study according to this UCP Study Contract, and in
accordance with the amendment of the relevant regulations he / she delivers to the UCP a written notice of his /
her intention not to continue the study (statement of abandoning studies), this UCP Study Contract expires on
the date of delivery of this notice to UCP. In such a case, the UCP is entitled to payment of tuition fees for the
entire academic year concerned; this does not affect the provision on the refund of tuition fees according to
Annex 1 of this UCP Study Contract, if the statement of abandoning studies at UCP is delivered within the
specified deadlines.

expel the student from study in accordance with the relevant regulations (especially the Higher Education Act,
the UCP Study and Examination Regulations, the UCP Disciplinary Regulations) or in the case of termination

program according to the UCP Study and Examination Regulations under the conditions set out in the UCP
Study and Examination Regulations. In this context, the student undertakes to pay tuition fees for the period
from the moment of termination to the end of the academic year in which the termination took place. On the day
of termination of the study, this UCP Study Contract expires.

by the UCP in the case that the student fails to settle the due payment under this UCP Study Contract despite a
written request from the UCP to pay the amount due; in this connection, the student is not entitled to a refund of
already paid tuition fees or any other fees for study. If the UCP withdraws from this UCP Study Contract for the
reason stated in this Article IV. paragraph 6, the student undertakes to pay the UCP a contractual penalty in the
amount equal to the amount of tuition fees from the moment of withdrawal from this UCP Study Contract until
the end of the academic year in which the UCP Study Contract was withdrawn.

payment of tuition fees for the entire academic year in which the study was interrupted.

to claim full compensation for damages incurred in connection with a breach of a student's obligations is not
affected, limited or excluded in any way.
12. This UCP Study Contract may only be amended or supplemented by written amendments signed by both

from the date of the change, via the UCP IS.

Strana 7 z 8
the nearest provision of this UCP Study Contract or general legislation shall apply analogously to the defective
provision.
