The distribution of the tests will take place in the same way as in the spring. At the same time, I request that the test site of the CTU Rectorate be used as much as possible. Thank you for respecting the above measures. You will be notified in time if the mandatory testing is ended. Best regards Ing. Igor Mráz, CTU FEE Registrar |

22. 10. 2021 Dear students and colleagues, The number of students and staff who have been found to be infected with the coronavirus has been rising at an alarming rate in recent days, even at our faculty. It can be expected that the government's emergency and protective measures will soon be tightened. A strict order to wear respirators during all classes is currently being considered. It is important to us that contact teaching can continue. Each of us can contribute to this by adhering to the following principles:
The COVID-19 vaccine has been proven to help - please get vaccinated. For up-to-date information and further guidance on what to do if you develop symptoms of a respiratory illness or if you are found to be infected with the coronavirus, visit fel.cvut.cz/en/covid Thank you for respecting these rules and for being considerate.

1. 3. 2021 Due to changes in the government regulations, we have prepared a simple (abbreviated) overview of the important points for you, which will be in force from Monday, March 1. Restrictions on movement within the district and in Prague (Prague is take as one district, as well as one municipality):
Prepare for the fact that the new regulations will be more strictly controlled by the Police of the Czech Republic, which will be assisted in this by the Czech Army. The language skills of these departments are not entirely excellent, so please be patient and cooperative. We don't think that anyone would want to bother you without reason, please remember that these people are just doing their job in these difficult times. You can follow current information that regulates the situation at CTU at https://www.cvut.cz/en/ctu-coronavirus-information. Government regulations can also be viewed on the COVID portal https://covid.gov.cz/en/measures/outdoor-activities/movement-restriction-regulations We understand that orienting oneself in the current situation is difficult (this also applies to Czech citizens). Therefore, do not hesitate to contact the ambassadors, the ISC (https://isc.cvut.cz/coronavirus), the vice-deans, the study department, or us. We will be happy to help you in any way we can. |
8. 2. 2021 Given the current epidemiological situation and the estimate of its future development, teaching in the first four weeks of the summer semester of the academic year 2020/21 will take place in a fully distance form. Any extension of the distance form will be specified based on the current situation. |

23. 11. 2020 Dear colleagues, I am writing to you in connection with the latest developments regarding the situation surrounding coronavirus and what this specifically means for teaching at our faculty. As you may have noticed, a new order from the Rector was issued on Friday, November 20, which takes effect today, ie on Monday, November 23. The main message of the new document is that CTU operations will be based on the rules specified in the scale of the Anti-Epidemic System of the Czech Republic (PES). However, individual university faculties have the opportunity to set stricter rules to reflect their needs and priorities optimally. Although the current epidemiological situation and the overall trend in the number of diseases appear to be somewhat more favorable than in October, the faculty management have decided to continue with the current online teaching regime until the end of this calendar year. The main reason for this measure is that we want you, as employees and students, to be able to plan well in advance how the teaching will take place regardless of what level of PES is currently in place. We are taking into account, among other things, students outside Prague who do not have secured accommodation, and we want to avoid the situation in which they will have to find it overnight. I believe that you will understand / appreciate our approach and use the time until the end of the year for the most intensive work during study or teaching and its provision. At present, the possibility of individual consultations and laboratory measurements for projects related to final theses applies. Each student arranges an individual consultation with his / her final thesis or project supervisor in advance. If the further development of the epidemiological situation allows it, we would like to start block teaching of practical laboratories after the New Year. We will start planning this step this week. I wish you all good health and enough energy to meet the challenges of this extraordinary time. Kind regards, Petr Páta, Dean |
9. 10. 2020 Rector’s order No. 18/2020 On reducing the risk of coronavirus infection |
29. 9. 2020 Teaching in winter semester 2020/2021 As you know, due to the limitations of the epidemiological situation, we switched to distance learning from the beginning of the semester. Unlike the previous semester, we did not have to switch to distance learning "on the go". At that time, the faculty had to react and take a number of necessary measures to ensure the pedagogical process, such as adjusting the time schedule, conditions for advancement to the next year, etc. In this semester, there is no reason to take similar measures. The faculty monitors the development of the situation and in case of unfavorable development of the pandemic and pedagogical situation it is ready to react immediately. Students have the opportunity to actively "manage" their studies. By the end of this week (until October 2), students have the opportunity to cancel any course that they think they would not be able to complete succesfully, thus preventing unnecessary one course registration from two possible course registrations. Later cancellation is not allowed. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to use the helpfulness of teachers and agree on, for example, a more suitable teaching time or schedule for checking teaching, etc. Students should also respond immediately to problems with distance learning, poor contact with the teacher, with inappropriate teaching aids, etc. It is not worth complaining retroactively after the end of the semester that there were situations that hindered the proper process of teaching. |
18. 9. 2020 Due to the epidemiological situation and in accordance with the Rector's Order No. 16/2020 On reduction the risk of coronavirus infection, all contact teaching is suspended from 21 September 2020 until further notice and is transferred to a distance form. All information about the form and location of distance learning will always be given for each subject in Moodle or Courseware. On-line distance learning will take place in the time defined by the standard schedule using a communication tool chosen by the teacher. |

Reasons for limitations of classes and a more detailed explanation
Dear colleagues,
We are aware of the fact that many teachers are almost completely ready for online teaching, and many have already put it into practice. On the other hand, many of them have almost nothing and need to work hard on that.
It is very confusing for students (judging by their responses) that online teaching does not run in a uniform and controlled manner. To unify the whole process, we have to give teachers the time to prepare for the situation. Only then, can we jointly start online teaching .
An important reason why we cannot start online teaching immediately, as many would like, is the fact that many students first need to take care of the problems arising from the limitations given. For example, our colleagues have to move out of dorms, get home, make provisions for internet connection, etc. That is why we do not want students to be penalized in any way for not meeting study requirements during this time. We can hardly require anyone to work on homework and submit it, follow on-line lectures, when their thoughts are occupied by many restrictions the “coronavirus“ has put on them. Time must be given for everything.
However, we do not want to limit those who are ready to teach online straight away. Do communicate with students, but please, bear the issues mentioned above in mind. Give students access to videos, documents and assignments, but please, do NOT insist on meeting requirements until March 23rd, 2020. After that, we will start teaching for real.
Those among you extensively experienced in online teaching, please offer help to your less experienced colleagues. Many of you have already done so, for which we offer thanks.
Thank you for your understanding and helpfulness.
