About

Features
Read full description

The main purpose of the application is to provide a platform for international students of the University of Debrecen in which they can manage their study administrations electronically. It displays the student's personal and study-related data, and they can carry out their registration obligations in every semester. There are two widgets on the dashboard: registration and medical checkup. They can start or continue registration on the registration widget (if registration period is open). They can also book an appointment for the mandatory medical checkup on the medical checkup widget. The application saves the data entered or changed during the registration - started in the given time window. The student can continue the registration that has been started but not submitted with the saved data. Based on the university's various data sources (Neptun, Student Admininistration System), the system is able to provide a range of services that enable students to record their academic status during their semester enrollment. The application can only be used by a user with appropriate, general user with student status, who has a university education ID and an active Neptun account. By restarting the application on the same device within a predefined security time interval, there is no need to log in again. The registration application works exclusively online.
