You need to download an application (Microsoft Authenticator), which will give you a unique six-digit code. You will need to enter this to log in to the Neptune interface. More information about the application and its settings is available here: Neptun’s two-factor identification must be set! – Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem (uni-corvinus.hu)

Applications are primarily open to full-time students, visiting students and students on special programmes. In exceptional cases, mid-term applications will be available.
Being on the waiting list as a foreign student is automatic.
It is possible to submit a Cancellation Request on Neptun, however, if you withdraw, you will not be able to submit a new application during the same process.
There is no cancellation fee till the deadlines specified in the application, after the deadline you have to pay a cancellation fee.
The current fees are set out in Annex 1 to thecall for applications. Typical prices are 90-200 EUR/person/month (this includes utilities, but not extra services).
The currency in which you pay your tuition fees will be the currency in which your fees will be paid. (Exception: Stipendium Hungaricum and Diaspora scholarship holders also can pay the deposit in EUR).
It depends on the aggreement of your specified program. Usually fees will be paid in advance for the semester, but on a monthly basis and with monthly deadlines, so you do not have to pay the whole semester in advance.
From this academic year, dormitories will also offer the possibility to apply for any vacancies that may arise during the semester. You will find a description on the website from the middle of September. (Link)
Tasks after admission
In Neptun, you will find it in the Administration/Requests menu.
You can only pay the deposit by paying in advance to the Neptun joint account. You transfer the money to your joint account, then when you see in the Finance menu that your balance has been approved, you can click on the Deposit for the payment button.
Unfortunately, Simple Pay credit card payment does not work for this type of item.
You will also find detailed information about this in the dormitory application notice and in the move-in letter sent by the dormitory.
