Student Rights Protection and Legal Support
Student rights protection is a comprehensive service covering any legal aspect of the relationship with the university. The "Law on Higher Education" grants students broad rights: receiving quality education, academic freedom, fair assessment, participation in governance, and freedom of association. Nevertheless, students often face unilateral changes to contract terms, illegal tuition fee increases, program cancellations, or discrimination. Student self-governments are not always able to solve individual problems.
This service offers students individual advocacy. Our goal is to protect your investment in education and ensure the university fulfills its obligations.
