Students can receive credit by either taking a certification exam at the Warsaw University, or by providing a certificate honoured by the university.

2. Students can register for and be credited for classes at any CEFR level offered by the school and chosen by the student according to their needs and interests.

3. Warsaw University students have an option to take a different foreign language or different level exam by paying or using their exam tokens.

4. Obtaining credit for a proficiency level lower than B2 does not grant credit for B2 level.

2. In order to log into the system Polish students are required to enter a PESEL into a first box and a password into a second box. Incoming students (spending at the University of Warsaw less than one full academic year, e.g. Erasmus students) who do not have PESEL number will receive the so-called imitation PIN and a password in the International Relations Office.

3. To register for chosen classes or exams you have to receive “tokens” (virtual points) – even if their number is zero. They are called according to their use: LEK-language courses tokens, EGZ-JO-language exams tokens. There is a maximum number of tokens students may use in each round. The system aims at avoiding “over registration”, i.e. does not allow the students to register for too many courses/exams and to reserve places in a number of groups “just in case”.

4. Usually during the first round of registration students may enroll to one course and exam only. During the next rounds he may enroll to additional courses/activities, provided there are free places available. If the student has not exceed the amount of his expenses for the round registration but does not have enough tokens, the system will allow for registration, but will charge a fee (according to the system price of 1 token). Language courses and language examstokens have their real worth in PLN. Students are advised to learn the price before registration for the fee-payable courses. Detailed information is available in deans/faculties secretary offices.
