❗️New deferral rules — from mobilization: Times of Ukraine analysts explained how they will work and what students should prepare for starting in 1 September.
⭕️Seven days and the student loses the deferment.
If the registry data shows a discrepancy, if a student transferred to part-time study, was expelled, or the data were simply entered incorrectly, the deferment can be canceled automatically within seven days. Without a separate summons and without dealing with the person.
Simply put: it's now easier to lose a deferment, and restoring it will take time.
⭕️What to do now, instead of waiting for 1 September.
Check whether the study information is entered correctly in EDEBO, verify the mark about an active deferment in your military registration document, and keep proof of your form of study on hand in case of a technical failure in the registry.
⭕️What to do if there's an error in EDEBO?
You must urgently contact your educational institution — the dean's office, the academic affairs office, or another unit responsible for entering data into EDEBO.
The student should provide documents that confirm the correct study information. It is not possible to change information in EDEBO yourself. After the data are corrected in the registry, the information should be transmitted to the military registration system.
⭕️Not everyone has the right to a deferment.
Only those studying full-time or in a dual form, and only if the next education level is higher than the previous one — a bachelor proceeding to a master's, not repeating a bachelor's. These conditions applied before as well, but from 1 September the check of each student will be stricter.
⭕️The biggest risk in the new rules is that the student now has to worry about system errors themselves. Previously a glitch could be calmly corrected over a year, but now the price of one unupdated field in the database has become equal to mobilization.
