Podmínkou pro udělení zápočtu je aktivní účast na polním měření ve spolupráci s GFÚ AV ČR, jehož termín se stanoví po dohodě se studenty. V případě neúčasti lze získat zápočet vypracováním domácího úkolu (s možností vrácení učitelem k opravám a doplnění). Získání zápočtu je podmínkou pro konání zkoušky. Forma zkoušky je ústní nebo distanční (telecon), požadavky odpovídají sylabu v rozsahu prezentovaném na přednášce.
