Enrolment for studying at the university
- Applicants who have been accepted as students must enrol in their studies.
- Applicants who are not able to enrol in person, may enrol by proxy. The person who is representing the student in this manner must have a power of attorney that they bring to enrolment (power of attorney form; the power of attorney does not need to be legally notarized).
- Applicants who cannot attend enrolment in person and cannot enrol by proxy may contact the head of the student affairs office (MiskaninHolubova@ff.cuni.cz).
- Applicants need to obtain a contract for accommodation in the dormitories of Charles University (more information above) and confirmation of studies at the Faculty of Arts from their study officer.
- The contract can only be obtained from the study officer after the study officer informs the applicant by e-mail that the officer have already received the contract from the dormitories of Charles University. The confirmation of study can only be received after enrolment in studies (in some cases, applicants only need to present during the visa process confirmation that they have been accepted as a student at the university).
- There are four ways to obtain the accommodation contract and confirmation of studies:
- The applicant picks up the accommodation contract and study confirmation in person from their study officer during enrolment or at a later time during the business hours of the Student Affairs Office for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes at the Faculty of Arts(preferred manner).
- An authorized person picks up the accommodation contract and study confirmation from the study officer on behalf of the applicant (power of attorney form; the power of attorney does not need to be legally notarized); this can be done during enrolment or at a later time during the business hours of the Student Affairs Office for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes at the Faculty of Arts (preferred manner).
- The applicant, at their own expense, arranges a courier service to deliver the accommodation contract and study confirmation to them from the study officer (the courier service can pick up the contract from the study officer during the business hours of the Student Affairs Office for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes at the Faculty of Arts). The applicant informs their study officer by e-mail of the date and time the courier service will come to pick up the contract.
- The applicant requests the study officer by e-mail to deliver the accommodation contract and study confirmation (least preferred manner).
