• acceptance/rejection of request by supervisor: 7 – 12 April

• final date for registration of internship and/or satisfaction of language requirement: 30 April

Finally, the extraordinary graduation session already scheduled remains unmodified.
Students who have already paid the fees (first and second instalments) for the academic year 2021-2021 and who wish to graduate in this additional extraordinary graduation session will be reimbursed and are not required to pay the third instalment.
