Wznowienie studiów

The question whether the new Law on Higher Education and Science allows to regulate resumption of studies by universities themselves, in the rules on studies, should be resolved positively. However, this is only under assumption that such rules and decisions made based on them have an internal character. Resumption of studies does not lead to entering into a new legal relation between a former student and the university, but it only causes that the past relation is being reinstated. Therefore, the decision on resumption is made outside the procedure regulated in the Code on administrative procedure and it also falls outside the control of administrative courts. De lege ferenda, resumption of studies should be regulated in the Law on Higher Education and Science to strengthen the right of persons applying for resumption. In particular, such regulation ought to require a decision on resumption of studies to have a form of an administrative decision.
