Members and those planning to join the AZS, SILESIANIE, the Choir or the Theatre are required to register for physical activity classes (Re. 1). Until 29 October 2026, it is possible to opt out of physical activity classes and replace them with the classes listed in points 2-5.

Students may choose one of two ways to complete the Physical Education module:

• to pass the module by attending physical activity classes, whilst treating membership of the chosen section as an additional activity, or
• to complete the Physical Education module through membership of the AZS, SILESIANIE, the Choir or the Theatre. In this case, a completed declaration of withdrawal from physical activity classes must be submitted to the Dean’s Office by 29 October 2026.

Students who, on the basis of a relevant medical certificate, are exempt from classes involving physical activity, are required to pass the Physical Education module by attending classes, the format of which is determined by the Dean of the Undergraduate and Graduate Studies.

• A long-term exemption from classes involving physical activity (physical exercise classes) may be granted by a specialist doctor or a GP. The content of the exemption must clearly state that it relates to Physical Education classes. The original copy of the exemption must be submitted, bearing the doctor’s personal stamp and the stamp of the medical facility.
• The certificate may cover one semester of classes or the entire academic year.
• The original paper copy of the certificate must be submitted for inspection at the Dean’s Office to the member of staff responsible for your degree programme by 9 October 2026 at the latest (this applies to exemptions for the whole academic year or for the winter semester). The certificate must be submitted in paper form only – it cannot be submitted in any other format. Failure to submit the certificate by the specified deadline will result in the student being enrolled in a physical activity class where a place is currently available.
• The course comprises 30 hours of classes in the winter semester.
• Attendance at classes is compulsory. Unexcused absence from more than 2 classes will result in failure to pass the Physical Education module for the semester.
• The course concludes credit with grade every semester.

Remedial Physical Education classes are intended for students with a disability certificate. They are tailored to the individual needs and abilities of students with disabilities and constitute one of the available ways of undertaking and passing the Physical Education module.

Students who wish to attend remedial classes should:

1. Notify the programme coordinator at the Dean’s Office of their wish to take part in remedial classes.
2. By 29 October this year, complete the registration questionnaire and attach a copy of their disability certificate. Students who do not speak Polish are invited to visit the Accessibility Centre directly to complete the form.
3. By 29 October this year, submit an online application for support with physical education. Students who do not speak Polish are invited to visit the Accessibility Centre in person to complete the application for support with physical education.
