Electronic Study Systems – NEPTUN and CANVAS
The electronic study system used at ELTE is called Neptun. The system is used for academic administration (e.g.: registering for courses and exams), finances and communication. The login name and the password, which can be changed later, are sent to students before the start of the semester by e-mail.
After you have registered to the courses, you will get access to the Canvas system which allows teacher and students of a course to communicate with each other, upload work material, readings, handouts and homeworks, to write tests etc.
You can find more information about Neptun at study related services.
