Documents relevant for Prospective Students

The purpose of this policy is to establish principles and procedures by which Central European University (CEU) assigns credit hours to academic courses.

These are the Provisional Statutes of Central European University - Private University (CEU PU).

This Non-Degree Student Policy refers to students of the programs of Közép-európai Egyetem (“KEE”) or Central-European University, New York  as visiting students and exchange students.

This Policy defines the main principles, organization and mechanisms of Institutional Assessment and Quality Assurance at CEU. It is based on the Characteristics of Excellence in Higher Education defined by the CEU main accrediting agency - the Middle States Commission for Higher Education - European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area, and the Hungarian Higher Education Act.

The purpose of the CEU Ethical Research Policy is to establish the principles and responsibilities for ethical conduct in research by the members of the CEU community. As a research intensive university, CEU values and protects academic freedom while safeguards ethical principles in research such as respect for persons and their welfare and justice.

Plagiarism occurs both when the words of another are reproduced without acknowledgment and when the ideas or arguments of another are paraphrased in such a way as to lead the reader to believe that they originated with the writer.

This Policy shall be interpreted in accordance with the Code of Ethics, which shall also prevail in questions not regulated by this Policy. While both students and faculty may be guilty of plagiarism, this policy only addresses student plagiarism. Faculty cases of plagiarism should be dealt with according to the appropriate section of the Code of Ethics.

The purpose of the Code is to protect the values common to all members of the University community, including academic integrity, obedience to the law and ethical standards; and to provide a clear procedural system for dealing with matters of general and academic misconduct that jeopardize the health, safety, development and mission of the University and of its individual members.
