The normal student status (RNE)
The normal student status is for “regular” students. They must attend all lectures (CM) and seminars (TD). They are evaluated via continuous assessment.
The special student status (RSE)
The special student status allows students to benefit from adjustments of their schedule (exemption from attendance requirements for certain courses) and choose their own assessment methods (without continuous assessment).
Authorization to waive attendance requirements does not prevent students from attending classes. However, no continuous assessment grade will be taken into account.
