(4) In planning their study, a student shall follow the programme, timetable, his/her options and the requirements for development. In order to graduate within the nominal period of studies it is recommended to compile the study plan in regard to the nominal division of the study programme.
(5) During the first semester of studies, a student is permitted to register an unlimited number of courses in the study plan, providing he/she meets the minimum requirement of 23 ECTS credits in full-time study and 15 ECTS credits in part-time study
(6) Commencing from the second semester, the university shall limit the registration in courses in the case where more than one course has not been completed during all the previous registrations of the student. According to the limit, a student is allowed to register courses in the study plan up to an amount not exceeding 38 ECTS credits.
(7) In selecting open electives, the student shall consider his/her development needs and whether his/her foreign and Estonian language proficiency and computer skills correspond to the requirements of the study programme.
(8) A student shall select open electives from the same level of study. If it is necessary to take subjects from the previous level of study for the acquisition of a speciality, the student shall concert a motivational application with the academic unit.
(9) Exceeding the volume of other modules set out in the study programme, may serve to complete the module of open elective courses, as set out in the study programme. In this previously given case, the volume of subjects in the module of open elective courses shall remain smaller than the volume given in the study programme.
(10)A student shall register in courses through the ÕIS. A student can register in courses that do not require prerequisite subjects or in courses where the student has passed the prerequisite subjects.
(11)Electronic registration in courses and cancellation of a registration is possible during the preliminary week of a semester and during the first eight calendar days of contact learning. Within four working days after the end of electronic registration, registration in courses and cancellation of registration is possible on the basis of an application.

The student shall receive a notice from ÕIS of the change in the study plan. Cancellation of a registration is possible within four working days after the deadline date for electronic registration.
(14)The academic unit delivering a course may organize preliminary registration in the course for the next semester. The aim of preliminary registration is to find out the approximate number of participants in specialisation modules, elective courses and supportive courses in the next semester and make a decision of opening or not opening the courses; it also gives to a student the priority right to register to these courses. Preliminary registration does not release a student from the obligation of registering in a course at the beginning of a semester.
(15)If the number of participants registered in an elective course is below the minimum level established by the academic unit, the academic unit is not obliged to teach the course
