The interruption of studies is possible only within one month of the commencement of the first term of the studies or within one month of the commencement of the second term of the studies provided that the Student has fulfilled all the study obligations of the first term. After elapse of the time for which the studies have been interrupted, the student shall automatically continue his/her studies in the nearest following term of the relevant course of study. However, the total time of the interruption may not exceed two years. A lump sum administrative fee according to the Tariff of Fees is charged for the interruption of studies. 14. Completion/Termination of Studies The studies shall be completed by proper fulfilment of all the study obligations pursuant to the studies specification. The premature termination of studies is possible by a written agreement between the Student and the Institute or by unilateral termination of studies by the Institute due to the failure to fulfil study obligations. In the case of premature termination of studies, the Student shall be obliged to pay the Tuition Fee for the entire course of study in the full amount, by the day of the termination of studies, at the latest. The maturity of the Tuition Fee may be agreed otherwise by an agreement in writing between the Institute and the Student. The Student has the option to terminate the studies unilaterally at any time during the studies without stating the reason.
