Registration requirements

Last update: Mgr. Nikola Skladanová (10.01.2024)

The teaching period of the CET courses begins already within the week from January 29, 2024, onwards. 

Because of the early beginning of the CET tuition period before the Faculty course registration is opened, students will not be able to register for the CET courses through the SIS.

In order to be allowed to enroll in the course, you have to:

  *   attend all classes of the particular course during the first week and sign in the attendance sheet form 

  *   send a registration e-mail to [e-mail] by February 2, 2024, to confirm that you would like to be enrolled in the course

If the number of students who fulfill these conditions exceeds the capacity of the course, the time of the registration e-mail decides the order of their enrolment. 

Successful students will be enrolled in the course in the SIS by the FHS International Office.


To get access to the CET facilities during the first week of classes, the students need to ring the doorbell at the main entrance to the CET Center in Palackého 3, Praha 1, and wait to be let in by a buzzer.

INFORMATION FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS:

Because the teaching period of CET courses begins early, these courses are available in spring semesters only for those exchange students who are spending a full academic year at Charles University. They can enroll in 2 CET courses per semester depending on the available capacity and are expected to select regular courses in addition to the CET (YBAC-coded) courses.
