Getting started

NEPTUN

For all the administration procedures we use NEPTUN. This is where students can enroll, register for a semester, a course or an exam, etc.

To get started you should do the following:

• TAX ID number and bank account: to start your studies you have to have a tax ID number and a bank account;
• Log in to NEPTUN: as we said this is the platform where all the administration takes place. Login NEPTUN on its website after clicking the English flag to switch the language from Hungarian to English. You received your unique NEPTUN code (it’s in your Letter of Acceptance on the right side of the top sheet “Student ID code”) with which you can login and change your password. The first time you have to log in with a generated password. It looks like this: NeYYYYMMDD, after “Ne” you should insert your birth date.
  • For example: Ne19990201 1999 February 1.
  • First things first you must change your password after you logged in;
  • If you forgot your password you should reach out to Central Academic Office (CAO) and request a new one;
• Check your data: after logging in, be sure to check your data in the “My data”/ “Personal information” menu.
  • Fill in the missing information (e.g. social security number, tax ID, bank account number, official email address, ID number, etc.)
  • The NEPTUN system will generate the documents required for enrollment based on the data you have provided
• Registration: all students are required to declare at the beginning of each semester whether they wish to start the semester with active or passive status. The registration can be done in the NEPTUN system “Administration”/”Enrollment, Registration” menu by clicking on the “+” button and selecting the semester.
• Be careful: this system operates with sensitive data. Use a strong password and every time you receive an email from NEPTUN regarding a new login make sure that you were the one who logged in in that timeline.

It is important  that the registration is a prerequisite for enrollment, without which the enrollment can’t be completed. You can enroll every semester during the registration week, when you will establish  status with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

If you have further questions regarding the use of NEPTUN there’s a guide for you!
