In connection with the new semester starting on October 1, 2024, we present to the students of the University of Economics in Katowice the rules for the implementation of teaching activities. Communication from the Vice-Rector for Teaching and International Relations prof. dr hab. Wojciech Dyduch.
The University of Economics in Katowice is a place where you gain not only valuable knowledge and experience but also a space to foster your passions, improve interests and meet new people. Our priority is to create an environment where you feel at home and belong to our community. You are already cordially invited to take full advantage of the opportunities our University has prepared for you.
Organization of classes and exams
The following will be conducted online:
- free choice electives for full-time and part-time students in semester 5,
- lectures for part-time students.
The remaining teaching activities in the winter semester will be conducted on-site on our University campus.
All exams are conducted on campus. Credits are awarded in the same form in which the activities are carried out, i.e.
1. for full-time studies:
- credits for free choice electives in semester 5 – in an online form,
- other credits – on campus;
2. for part-time studies:
- credits from lectures – in online form,
- credits for free choice electives in semester 5 – in an online form,
- other credits – on campus.
In special situations, at the instructor's request, followed by the decision of the Dean of the School of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies, it is possible to change the form of credit from online to on-site on campus.
In addition, office hours and seminars can be implemented in an online form, with the provision that the first seminar meeting is held on-site on our University (this date is included in the timetable)

All activities in each course (including, but not limited to, lectures, classes, laboratories, seminars, foreign language classes, and PE classes) are entered into the Google Classroom e-learning platform. Therefore, you must log in to the Google Classroom e-learning platform and join the course following your study program.

USOS system
USOS is the system for student services. It is the place where you can make all the choices shaping your academic path. You can also view grades, check payment progress, and use many other features.
Student Services
Student services and everyday support are provided by the Office for School of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies (Student Services) in Katowice, the Office for School of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies (Student Services) in Rybnik and the Doctoral School Office. It is a student-friendly place that aims to efficiently guide you through the technical intricacies of studying at our University and beyond. To ensure effective communication, Student Services contacts you via short emails with the essential information, e.g., about assignments, upcoming deadlines, or instructions.
International Relations
The International Relations Office is your window to the world. I encourage you to use the Office’s offer to broaden your study horizons and include another study program, visit another university, explore another country. You can also gain international work experience by benefiting from internship and apprenticeship opportunities.
Careers Service and Alumni Relations
If you are interested in national internships and apprenticeships, the answer to all your questions lies at the Careers Service and Alumni Relations. There, you will find a wide range of offers to suit your interests.
University support and student life
I would like to remind you that throughout every stage of your studies, you are welcome to seek the assistance of the Student Parliament, which is the opinion-giving and resolution-making body of the Student Government. The Parliament is engaged in representing the interests and defending the rights of students at our University. Its main goal is actively supporting students with their day-to-day problems related to study regulations, curricula, international university trips, and internships. The Student Parliament also organizes student life, which means many excellent projects.
I sincerely encourage you to broaden your experience by getting involved in projects by our research clubs and student organizations and taking advantage of our wide range of internships. Welcome Point is open to all who appreciate the values and benefits of working together in an international environment. You are all warmly invited to visit it.
I also invite you to actively participate in the life of the Doctoral Student Government, which provides support and advice to doctoral students. Doing so will allow you to establish new connections and develop your scientific passions.
Our University is systematically increasing its accessibility through its efforts to address the needs of people requiring additional assistance. These activities are marked by the desire to ensure full participation in all areas of life on an equal and equitable basis, which is reflected in our University's mission and strategy and stems from our University's social responsibility and the academic community's sensitivity to contemporary challenges. These activities are primarily directed at increasing architectural, digital and communication-information accessibility.
I encourage you to communicate your need for additional assistance to teachers and professional staff in implementing the teaching process and adapting teaching materials. Ongoing support at our University for all students and doctoral students is provided by the Rector's Representative for Accessibility and the Accessibility Center. In addition, all
members of our academic community can take advantage of free psychological consultations and therapeutic support. More about the University's support can be found on our website.
