Provision of the Dean No. 89
on the recording of study results at FSci USB

from 30 October 2018
as amended on 1 October 2019

Beginning in the academic year of 2019/2020 the obligation to write results in the student record book (index) is cancelled, the STAG information system (hereinafter STAG) alone will be used for course enrolment, credit and examination result registration, and study checks.

Each course teacher is obliged to record the results of tests and exams in STAG and the recording of test and examination results in STAG is to be performed three days after the test/examination takes place at the latest[1] . It is necessary to record even grade 4 (failed), or “excused”, or “did not attend”, the column must not remain empty. The secretary of the department/institute (hereinafter workplace) under which the evaluation of the subject falls is to record such results for external teachers.

In the event of a written examination, the student must have the option of inspecting the corrected examination paper no later than four days after the result has been entered in the STAG.

The student is to have the following seven days to check their results as recorded in STAG (to ascertain whether the recorded result is in accordance with that which they were informed of during the examination or during their inspection of the corrected test paper corrected in their absence). In the case of the result in STAG being different to that which they were informed of, the student is to inform the appropriate member of the teaching staff without delay, who (as long as the result was wrongly entered) is to correct the result in STAG immediately. If the student does not comment on the given result at the given time, he/she is deemed to have agreed with the assessment.

Regarding the second retake examination (which is to be entered in STAG as the second retake examination), which is to take place at the end of the examination period (less than a week before the end of the examination period) the course teacher is obliged to record the result of the examination the day following the examination; in the event of the examination taking place on the last day of the examination period, the results are to be recorded in STAG on the day of the examination.      

In the event of the student not attending the second retake examination without excusing themselves, they are to receive grade 4. A brief protocol is to be written about the second retake examination detailing the date the examination took place, the results of those who attended, and the names of those who failed to attend. This protocol is to be submitted to the workplace secretary, a copy is to be kept by the course teacher.

In the event of the incorrect recording of the result of a second retake examination taking place at the end of the examination period being ascertained within a three-day period, the student is to request (in writing, without fee) the Study Vice-Dean for its correction. On the basis of this request the Study Vice-Dean (or their authorised representative) is to instruct the departmental secretary to submit the original protocol of the second retake examination. In accordance with this material, the grade in the STAG information system will be corrected at the Department of Student Affairs 2.

Teaching staff are obliged to archive all documentation regarding the awarding of grades or credits at minimum until one month after the end of study result checking for the academic year in which the course took place, i.e. for examinations in the winter and summer semesters at least until the end of October in the following academic year.

Teaching staff may entrust the recording of grades in STAG to the workplace secretary.

To ascertain the current overview of all external teaching staff in every semester at the given department, the Dean’s officer responsible for the preparation of agreements of teaching work activity is, always during the preparation of agreements of work activity, to record the following information in the shared tables: the name and surname of the external teacher, subject taught, and contact information of the teacher.

The student enrolls in the subjects Bachelor’s Diploma Dissertation, Bachelor’s Diploma Practice, Master’s Diploma Thesis, and Master’s Diploma Practice according to the workplace they are assigned to (the workplace guaranteeing the study program, or the workplace of the supervisor for work undertaken in biological fields) and where they will work on and defend them.

Credits for Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral practice are not to be entered in STAG by individual supervisors, but by the workplace secretaries. Supervisors are responsible for the submission of information in written form (by email) for entry by the secretary of the workplace two weeks before the end of each examination period at the latest[2]. In the case of an external supervisor (contact information entered in the employment protocol, one copy of the employment protocol is to remain at the workplace) the secretary is to request the external supervisor for this information at the same time. An overview of all qualification work at the department/institute is to be found on STAG (Browse – Dissertation/Thesis – chosen workplace – Dissertation/Thesis status, DBPOO, or DBUO).

Credits for the Doctoral study subjects Literary Research and Doctoral Seminars are recorded in STAG by the chair of the Field Board [3].

Two weeks before the end of each examination period, the secretaries of the departments are to check whether the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the credits for Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral qualificational practice for the for the previous semester have been entered or not. If this credit record is missing, they are to ascertain from the supervisor (the supervisor appears in the list of work in progress in Browsing in STAG) whether or not the student is entitled to obtain the credit and the result of fulfilled/not fulfilled regarding the credit is to be entered into STAG.

A week before the end of the examination period the departmental secretaries are to ascertain whether the grades and credits for all subjects which the given workplace ensured have been entered.

In the event of the grades and credits for some subjects not being entered they are to inform the head of department who is to ensure the entry of the grade. For subjects not provided by individual workplaces, this check will be performed by the Vice-Dean and the Vice-Dean for Doctoral Studies in cooperation with the study officers.

The head of the workplace is to ensure the qualificational substitutability of the secretaries in the event of sudden absence, especially in the critical end of semester period [4].

A student who has enrolled for a subject provided by another faculty and who discovers that the credit/grade for that subject has not been entered in STAG is to inform the course teacher.
