In-person. The tuition can be alternated depending on the epidemiological situation. 

Symptoms, prevention, high-risk, contacts and testing.

Need a GP in Brno? See the list of available English-speaking doctors.

In case of a positive test for Covid, quarantine (after close contact with a positive person, or when you are having symptoms and remain quarantined), you are obliged to make a record in the IS and you are also prohibited from entering the MU buildings.

IS Main Page - Coronavirus (next to the Traffic Light) - submit a record (see the link below)

You are supposed to record your quarantine in the IS if:

a) Your test was covid positive; contact also your GP/Hygiene station (they set the length of your isolation), contact people you were in close contact to notify them.
b) you are in quarantine (its lenght will be specified by your GP in Brno, or the Regional Hygiene Station – KHS); However, in case of close contact with a positive person or symptoms – do not wait to be contacted, stay isolated, contact your GP and report to the IS)
c) you experience symptoms of respiratory disease (such as temperature, shortness of breath, headache, loss of taste and smell etc.) + contact your GP, stay quarantined and make a record in the IS

IS - Notification of a positive test for Covid-19 or quarantine.

Regarding your absence, you will be apologized in the IS based on your record. Any necessary substitutions need to be arranged directly with your teachers. 

Stay quarantined. What you can do immediately - contact your GP, who determines the length of your quarantine and order a PCR test; report quarantine/PCR into the IS, and contact your teachers to arrange for a substitution of your in-person classes.

Try to objectively assess how close you have been in touch. You are all required to wear respirators, keep spacing, disinfect your hands, and avoid closer contact with each other.

If you are in the same group, but you talk only with the mouth and nose protection, there is no reason to panic. This is also the interpretation of the Regional Hygiene Station. You can keep attending in-person classes.

If you were in close contact without masks, contact your GP and stay isolated. Your GP will advise you regarding the next steps. Record your quarantine in the IS. (See point 5)

In case of quarantine or a positive test (recorded in the IS - see the point 5), you can be excused by the study department on the basis of your record and the lenght of your quarantine.

You have to individually arrange a substitution for your missed in-person classes, either directly with your teachers or by following the steps from the syllabus/study materials – conditions depend on each department.

The absence from a weekly course and the possibility of its compensation is to be dealt with the responsible teacher directly or according to the instructions from the Department. For courses taught in blocks, ask your study officer about the possibility of transferring teaching into the free weeks in your schedule. Your absence will be excused in the IS based on your record in the Coronavirus application.

The invoice is always the same for the whole year. You can split the payment into two instalments (per semesters).

You will find this number in your invoice as “Our reference”. This number will indicate your payment and it helps us to pair it with your account. Without the number the payment is not connected to your name and needs to be tracked down.

No, only in CZK. If possible, transfer the amount directly in CZK. If that is not available, please check your Inet once the payment arrives, and settle the difference in CZK at the Cash Desk.

1. Check if the payment really left your account.
2. The transfer may take some time – within the country, it may take a couple of days (since the payment needs to be processed by our Economic Dpt.); international payments may arrive in a week or so.
3. Maybe you did not use your Reference number/Variable symbol, in that case, please contact the International Studies Office with a confirmation of your payment.
4. You may have accidentally sent your money to your SUPO account – please contact the International Studies Office.
