The winter semester in the 2020/2021 academic year at the University of Warsaw will be held remotely. Classes, language courses, exams and lecturers’ duty hours will be conducted online. If the classes, due to their specificity, require direct contact with the lecturer, they can be conducted on a stationary basis, while maintaining sanitary requirements.
On 7th September, prof. Alojzy Z. Nowak, rector of the University of Warsaw, signed the ordinance on the organization of education in the winter semester of the 2020/2021 academic year. The ordinance defines the rules for the organization of education in the coming semester.
Classes will be conducted remotely. If the classes, due to their specificity, require contact with the lecturer, they can be conducted on a stationary basis, subject to sanitary requirements. ‘This applies in particular to laboratory, field or integrating classes of first-year undergraduate and long-cycle studies as well as student apprenticeships’ – says the ordinance.
Decisions about which classes will be held in a stationary mode, must be taken not later than 21st September.
Exams and credits, diploma examinations, and even, if possible, physical education classes are to be held remotely.
General university classes and foreign language courses will be conducted only remotely.
