Current information from the Charles University's management as a response to adoption of additional crisis measures dated April 24, 2020

Study – easing of crisis measures

According to the government resolution of April 23, 2020, no. 455 (and/or 456), with effect from April 27, 2020, the physical presence of students for consultation, examination, and teaching is now permitted up to a maximum of 5 people, and without restriction now only to students in their final year.

This means that from April 27, 2020, all students can participate in pedagogical activities up to a maximum of 5 persons.

We emphasize that continued compliance with necessary hygiene measures is required. The government resolution permits only students without current symptoms of a viral disease to participate in teaching and testing while providing a written statement on the absence of symptoms of viral disease.

Study - distance forms of teaching and assessment of study

Today has been issued the publication in the Collection of Laws (Section 69) of Act no. 188/2020 Coll., on special rules for education and decision-making at higher education institutions in 2020 and on the assessment of the period of study for the purposes of other acts, ("ZZP"). Following this step, the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports also immediately registered the university regulation Special Rules of Study at Charles University.

Following this process, it is now possible to carry out state final examinations, state rigorous examinations (MUDr.), or parts thereof, as well as state doctoral examinations and the defense of doctoral dissertations ("state examinations") in distance form.
