The amended UP Study and Examination Code (in Czech) brought several changes for UP students since October 2025. One of the most significant is the new requirement for first-year students to earn at least five credits by March 15 of the given academic year. Failure to do so is grounds for termination of studies. An amendment to the UP Scholarship and Bursary Code (in Czech) also came into force in the same month.
The new requirement for a minimum of five credits in the first semester applies to all first-year students enrolled at UP, regardless of the type and language of study. This modifies the previous practice, where the first check of study obligations took place at the beginning of the next academic year in September.
Another new feature in the UP Study and Examination Regulations is the right to extend the deadlines for fulfilling study obligations in connection with pregnancy or the possibility of changing the form of study from combined to full-time. This amendment also brings changes to state final examinations.

This October, an amendment to the UP Scholarship and Bursary Code (in Czech) came into effect, with fundamental changes primarily affecting doctoral students. These include the introduction of a doctoral study income for first-year students and other changes in the method and timing of income or scholarship payments to DSP students at UP, as well as an adjustment to the scholarship period for accommodation scholarships so that they can also be paid for the months of July, August, and September.
