    The main types of classes – lectures, practical class, seminars, laboratory and individual classes and consultations. Studies are held in accordance with the timetable, which is arranged by the educational department of the University for each specialty, course and group.
    Attending classes is obligatory for each student.
Class missed without a reasonable excuse  must be worked off.

The cost of working off is defined by the University order №504 from 23.07.2009. RATING SYSTEM FOR KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT– is a stimulating factor in systematic student’s work for receiving durable knowledge. It takes into account all types of student’s work, the level of different subjects learning, the quality of studying during the semester by the factors(criteria):
