The facts are demonstrated before the start of accommodation and then further every 7 days, except for the particulars referred to in points (b) and c), which are only demonstrated once before the start of accommodation..

Request for compliance with anti-epidemic measures

Dear Students,

I welcome you all to the beginning of the new academic year at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague. I am pleased that we can meet again in person during classes and share our beautiful academic space after a long time.

It is undoubtedly our common goal to be able to maintain these conditions throughout the semester. However, this requires that we all be as considerate as possible. Therefore, I call on us to adhere to all measures that significantly reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 disease and thus increase the chance of maintaining full-time contact teaching. It is mainly a matter of keeping a safe distance (spacing) and respiratory protection (respirators) in the university's interior, if possible, even during classes. As the risk of infection increases in proportion to the number of persons present in classrooms, lectures are also broadcast online. Therefore, I ask you to use these possibilities as much as possible.

Only by a common respect for these measures can we influence future developments. It depends on the approach of every one of us, and I firmly believe that we are aware of it.

Dear students, I welcome you all once again and wish you much success studying at the Czech University of Life Sciences.

Vice-Rector for Education

Methodical Guideline of the Vice-Rector for Education on the Course of Teaching in the Winter Semester of the Academic Year 2021/2022

Teaching will always be governed by conditions that the state administration will set. The essential requirement remains to ensure pedagogical activities in their entirety and the required quality.
The primary goal and priority of CZU are to maintain, as far as possible, standard teaching in terms of form and content in accordance with the accredited form of the study program.
If the epidemic situation is favourable and the conditions set by the Ministry of Health do not create obstacles for full-time teaching, teaching must be carried out in a normal mode, where lectures and exercises should take place primarily in contact (in person) with the joint presence of students and teachers.
Given the need to reduce student accumulation in large groups, it is recommended that teachers consider conducting theoretical instruction in a hybrid mode where appropriate depending on the nature of the subject and the number of students. Hybrid teaching combines some of the forms of teaching defined below:
1. Contact teaching takes place when students and teachers are in the same place.
2. Distance learning takes place when there are students and teachers in different places.
3. Synchronous teaching takes place if students and teachers are present at the same time.
4. Asynchronous teaching is one in which the teacher and the students are not present at the same time.
  
  For theoretical teaching in the winter semester of the academic year 2021/2022, it is recommended to combine contact teaching with remote synchronous teaching. This means that lectures would also be broadcast online.
If the personal presence of students in teaching and examinations during university studies is limited or the epidemic situation at the university does not allow for full contact teaching, it is a priority to maintain the full-time form of practical teaching (tutorials, seminars). In this case, a suitable way of hybrid teaching is a combination of remote synchronous teaching in the form of online transmission of lectures with contact (full-time) practical teaching within tutorials and seminars. In this way, a possible condition of a limited number of students present in class can be met.
Hybrid teaching is also recommended to be introduced in study programs where international students study who, through no fault of their own, cannot attend classes in person (e.g. due to the impossibility of coming to the Czech Republic).
The deans of the faculties set the conditions for hybrid teaching in accordance with the needs and nature of the study programs. In the case of the introduction of hybrid teaching, teachers must define the teaching method in individual subjects at the beginning of the semester, to which the conditions for fulfilling credits must also correspond.
If the state power excludes the personal presence of students in teaching or the epidemic situation at CZU is fundamentally unfavourable, it will be necessary to switch to a full distance form of teaching. If the state authority excludes the personal presence of students in teaching or the epidemic situation at CZU is fundamentally unfavourable, it will be necessary to switch to a full distance form of teaching. The Rector orders comprehensive distance education for CZU based on a measure issued by the Government of the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Health, or based on a specific legally binding anti-epidemic measure imposed on the university by the locally competent hygienic station. A condition for distance learning is also a valid decision of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports on special authorizations of public and private universities in an emergency.
Distance learning should be understood as active distance learning, which takes place in accordance with the schedule and in which teaching in the personal presence of students is replaced by online teaching (synchronous remote learning). In addition, all relevant e-learning methods are used, including study aids in the form of, for example, recorded lectures (asynchronous distance learning).
Teachers will prioritise the LMS Moodle and MS Teams platforms for distance learning due to the unification of technical requirements for teachers and students, as well as thanks to the support of DICT and CAVS. User manuals have already been created for these platforms, and training has been organized.
The LMS Moodle application will be used by guarantors and teachers of subjects mainly to make study materials available to students online or test students' knowledge through online tests. The provision of study materials (often reduced to pdf lectures or a script) in the LMS Moodle environment must be considered in this respect as a very minimum, which is not an adequate substitute for contact teaching by e-learning.
Teachers will use the MS Teams application mainly for the organization, recording and online transmission of lectures, if necessary and possible for sharing seminars and tutorials, or for online consultations with students.
In line with the requirements of the faculties, DICT will prepare teams in the MS Teams environment for all currently taught subjects and provide other necessary technical support.
The scope of the distance form of teaching in study programs will be registered at the level of individual study subjects due to the information obligation to the National Accreditation Office for Higher Education.
The distance teaching elements will be used in accordance with the methodical guideline of the National Accreditation Office for Higher Education, i.e. only in those cases where objective external circumstances do not allow to implement the study program in accordance with the granted accreditation or in accordance with the authorization to carry out the study program based on institutional accreditation.
The implementation of study subjects in a hybrid or distance way will be monitored and evaluated, both from the point of view of students and teachers. This feedback will provide reflection to improve the teaching process or eliminate shortcomings.
To ensure suitable conditions for the implementation of hybrid and distance teaching, it is necessary to equip lecture halls and classrooms with appropriate technology.
All necessary information, including imposed hygienic preventive measures and recommended methodical procedures, is continuously published on the CZU website in the "Aktuálně COVID-19" section.
The conditions of teaching at faculties/Institute are usually set by the Order of the Dean/ Director.

Current measures

Wear respiratory protective equipment until further notice.

All persons are prohibited from moving and staying without respiratory protective equipment (nose, mouth) such as a respirator, facemask, mouthpiece, scarf, shawl or other means that prevent the spread of droplets in all common (internal) areas of CZU, with the exceptions provided for in an emergency measure by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic(in particular employees and persons in a similar position while performing work atone place, if such a person works at a distance of at least 1.5 metresfrom another person).

Valid Rector's Decisions to prevent the spread of the infection

In connection with the current situation, the Czech University of Life Sciences carefully monitors the development of the situation and is in intensive contact with the contracted medical facility MEDLIN - MUDr. Pavel Lindovský and the Regional Hygiene Station. CZU regularly monitors the information channels of national institutions and other public health authorities and is ready to take further measures to prevent the spread of the disease in the event of increased risk. In this context, CZU fully complies with the legislation and currently established regulations and is awaiting relevant decisions of superior bodies (decisions of the Government Council, the Ministry of Health, and the Regional Hygiene Station).
