Documents relevant for Prospective Students

The CEU NY/CEU PU Admissions policy is applicable to prospective students applying to the University’s US and Austrian accredited programs in Vienna effective from the academic year 2019/20.

The CEU NY/KEE Admissions policy regulated admission to CEU NY prior to the academic year 2019/20. The policy remains in force for all Hungarian-accredited programs at KEE in Budapest until further notice.

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.

This Policy applies only to those academic units where women as faculty are underrepresented. When an academic unit has reached a ratio of 50% women in each academic rank (assistant, associate, and full professorships), and there is no longer an underrepresentation of female faculty, the unit will be exempt from the obligation to follow this Policy for subsequent hires so long as gender balance is maintained.

This Policy finds its legal basis in the Austrian Federal Constitution (B-VG), in particular its Section 7, the Austrian Equal Treatment Act (B-GlBG) and the Private Universities Act (PrivHG).

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.

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.

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

The policy applies to all credit-bearing courses, activities and programs offered via the distance education format by Central European University (CEU). The purpose of this policy is to ensure compliance with the standards of the United States Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) concerning student identity verification in distance education. In line with the requirements established by HEOA, CEU ensures that individuals completing credit-bearding coursework and other activities at CEU are the same students who have enrolled at CEU and registered for the respective programs and courses.
