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. Newly admitted students will receive the login information during the summer via 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
