(RS §15 section 9)

In the event of a breach of the regulations, each student or group of students has several options to react to the situation:

• Bring the lecturer’s attention to the issue
• Inform the head of the unit (Department or Institute)
• Inform the Dean
• Inform the Faculty Student Government
• Inform the University-wide Student Self-Government - the Board of the Students’ Parliament 
• Inform the Rector (appeals against the Dean’s decision in exceptional circumstances pursuant to the §28 section 4 of the Study Regulations)

In cases where a student or a group of students prefer to intervene anonymously, it is worth using the help of the Student Government. We also strongly encourage you to participate in the post-session meetings, where everyone can submit their comments on the course of the session. In the case of violations of the Study Regulations, it is best to contact us by e-mail.
