Payments of grants awarded by the Polish Party as well as Foreign Parties. Polish Party grants

Eligibility for particular grants is regulated by the Higher Education Act.

include those specified in Section 2, Art. 43:
1) foreigners who have been granted residency rights
2) foreigners who have been granted refugee status in Poland
3) foreigners who enjoy temporary protection in the Polish territory
4)family members of migrating employees who are EU, Swiss or EFTA citizens, if they live in the

enjoy permanent residency rights
8)foreigners who have been granted limited residency rights in the
Polish territory, pursuant to Art. 53, section 1, points 7, 13 and 14 of
the Foreigners Act of 13 June 2003
The above mentioned persons are entitled to attend university programmes in compliance with the conditions set forth for Polish citizens
and, consequently, apply for social grants, special disability grants, the
Rector’s best student grants, the Ministry’s achievement grants as well as
emergency grants.
The exception are EU, Swiss or EFTA citizens (point no. 7) who possess
sufficient financial resources to cover their living expenses while attending
University programmes are subject to the conditions set forth for Polish
citizens, but they may apply solely for the Rector’s grants for best students.
Student Houses
The University has a limited number of places in student houses – not
all the applicants will be granted accommodation. The allocation of places
is subject to 5 criteria/categories:
1.CUE’s student exchange agreements with other Polish universities,
2.CUE’s multilateral cooperation agreements with overseas universities,
3.The Rector’s discretionary decisions with regard to fee-paying students and those admitted through recruitment agencies,
4.The Minister’s decisions with regard to students admitted through
the Bureau for Academic Recognition and International Exchange.
5.Students who are in financial distress as well as Polish and foreign
students who attend programmes in compliance with the conditions set forth for Polish citizens.
Foreigners, holders of the valid Cards of the Pole, admitted in compliance with the conditions for Polish citizens, may apply for social grants, special grants for persons with disabilities, Rector’s and Minister’s grants as well
as emergency grants.
They may also attend programmes according to different principles
than those for Polish citizens – as foreigners who pay a fee for tuition, as
winners of Polish scholarships, pursuant to international agreements, the
rector’s or minister’s decisions, without tuition payments and scholarship
benefits, pursuant to inter-university agreements, etc. In such cases eligibility for grants is individually determined by BUWiWM, a foreign party or
relevant agreements.
Remember that your eligibility for grants depends on your admission
and current study conditions of your programme.

How to use University computer-aided labs and get WiFi access?
Practical hints
 W
hen you take an exam, especially an oral one, it is advisable to be dressed in a formal way – just like for a job
interview. Examiners might consider casual wear to be
inappropriate.
The computer-aided laboratories are reserved for the exclusive use of
staff and students – during computer science classes or individually. Individual work is possible on the week days (Mon - Fri) from 8:00 to 20:00, outside the periods booked for classes. The individual work schedule is available on the information board at the IT Centre and the University home
page.
Students who wish to use the laboratories should present their student
ID or student book.
 I t is customary to address teachers, professors and University executives “professor”, “doctor” (sir, madam), “rector”, etc. It is not appropriate to call your teachers by
their first name.
It is possible to get WiFi access in the campus territory. It is necessary to
fill out the user’s card to be collected at the entrance to the laboratories of
the IT Centre from the operator on duty (building A, room 06) or from the
IT Centre’s web site. The form should be submitted to room 03 in person;
students should present their IDs or student books with enrollment for the
current semester.

you a specific foreign language qualification (www.sjo.
uek.krakow.pl)
How to sign up for PE classes?
You can sign up for a selected sport during your first PE class at
the start of the academic year. The offering of the Sports Institute
and the schedule of classes should be checked at the beginning of
the academic year in the Sports Building. It is advisable to choose
several different classes to get a feel for what is the best choice for
you. Do it during the first week of classes – the number of places may
be limited.
