Professor Krzysztof Jóźwik

Rector of TUL

Dear members of the academic community,

The safety of each of you and the operational stability of Lodz University of Technology are my priorities. For the last months I have been the head of the Crisis Management Unit at our University. This experience allowed me to become well aware of the challenges we had to cope with in the face of the still ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

We make every effort to ensure that Lodz University of Technology functions effectively, fulfilling its mission of education and scientific research. Present regulations are and will be published on this website, I would like to encourage you to follow it systematically.

I would like to thank all of you - research and teaching staff, administration, engineering and technical staff, as well as students and PhD students for your commitment and effort put into the university during the partial closure of the campus. In the face of such a huge task we met the challenge and gradually returned to the walls of our University, but we must not forget that the threat still exists.

Every decision related to the way Lodz University of Technology operates is made with adjustment to the current, still dynamic, epidemic situation in the country and in the world. Our community is formed by residents of various regions of Poland and parts of the world. We conduct extensive international cooperation with partners from several dozen countries, and since defence against the coronavirus is a global challenge, the return to pre-pandemic activities will be gradual. Feeling responsible for the health and life of members of the academic community, as well as their loved ones, we have decided to implement a hybrid system at TUL.

In the winter semester of the academic year 2020/2021 the didactic classes at Lodz University of Technology for all forms and levels of education will be carried out in a mixed way, i.e. both through direct contact with lecturers at the university, as well as with the use of distance learning methods and tools.

We all hope to return to normal work as soon as possible. Mutual care and responsible attitude will undoubtedly contribute to this.

Best regards,

prof. Krzysztof Jóżwik

Rector of TUL

TUL Vice Rector for Student Affairs

Deputy Head of  TUL Crisis Management Center

In connection with the entry into force of the Act of 19.06.2020 on interest rate subsidies for bank loans granted to entrepreneurs affected by the effects of COVID-19 and on simplified proceedings for approval of the arrangement in connection with the occurrence of COVID-19 (Journal of Laws of 2020 item 1086 of 23.06.2020), the Announcement No. 10 and 13 of the Vice-Rector for Education of 21 and 22 May 2020 shall be repealed.

Announcement of the Vice-Rector for Education on the rules for organising diploma examinations using distance learning methods and techniques of 2 April 2020.

In view of the prolonged state of the epidemic and the restriction of direct education at the Lodz University of Technology, the possibility of conducting diploma examinations using distance learning methods and techniques only upon a justified request of the student concerned and in agreement with the student is introduced for the period of suspension of direct education. The examination can be conducted in this form only with the use of the Teams cloud tool from the MS Office 365 package of the Lodz University of Technology and with the use of official and student accounts of the Lodz University of Technology system. The diploma examination conducted in this form should be carried out according to the following procedure:

1. A student applying for a diploma examination using distance learning methods and techniques shall submit an application for admission to the examination containing a request to conduct a diploma examination in this form to the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs, competent for that student, through the supervisor of the diploma paper. In the application submitted, the student should unequivocally confirm that he/she has access to a computer equipped with a microphone and a camera, connected to fast, fixed-line Internet and access to the Teams service of the Lodz University of Technology and declare his/her familiarity with using this service. A necessary condition for examining such an application and deciding on admission to the diploma examination is the fulfilment of all the conditions specified in the Study Regulations of the Lodz University of Technology.

2. The application referred to in section 1 is submitted by the student to the supervisor. After filling in the appropriate fields, the supervisor signs the application and passes the scan to the appropriate Dean's office. A designated employee of the Dean's Office, after verifying the documents, passes them on to the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs. If the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs agrees to conduct the diploma examination using distance learning methods and techniques, he or she sets a date for the diploma examination, which may take place provided that the review of the diploma paper prepared by the designated reviewer is positive and is passed on to the student and all members of the Diploma Examination Committee at least two days before the set date for the diploma examination. The Vice-Dean for Student Affairs shall forward a signed application to the appropriate Dean's Office.

3. A designated employee of the Dean's Office responsible for the student prepares the necessary documents or scans thereof and submits them to the Chairperson of the Diploma Examination Committee.

4. On the day of the examination, the Chairman of the Diploma Examination Committee organizes a group conversation ("chat") via the Teams tool and calls the members of the Diploma Examination Committee and the student taking the examination together. It is prohibited to register the course of the Diploma Examination, both in the service through the Teams tool and by other technical means. The Chairperson of the Commission blocks the possibility of registering a session of the Diploma Examination in the Teams service.

5. During the examination, the cameras and microphones of all persons participating in the examination (the student and three members of the Commission) must be switched on. The student makes the entire desktop of his computer available to the members of the Committee. The shared desktop should contain only the presentation of the diploma thesis covering at least 90% of the screen area. During the whole examination, only the presentation of the thesis and any applications related to it may be displayed on the student's computer desktop. It is not allowed for the student to run applications during the examination to facilitate answers to questions. The desktop displayed during the presentation should be the only screen available to the student during the examination. The student who takes the exam should sit in front of the camera so that his or her face covers at least 40% of the area covered by the camera. He should also look towards the screen at all times during the exam.

6. The diploma examination is conducted under the provisions of § 41 of the Study Regulations of the Lodz University of Technology, with the Chairman of the Diploma Examination Committee being obliged to prepare a protocol of the diploma examination. The protocol shall record the remote examination procedure. If the student's answers during the examination require a written form, it is written down by the student on a piece of paper and presented to the camera.

7. After all the stipulated parts of the diploma examination are completed, the student is disconnected. The committee determines the grade for the diploma paper, the grade for the diploma examination and, in the case of a positive result, the final result of the studies.

8. After reconnecting the student, the Chairperson of the Diploma Examination Committee announces the evaluation of the diploma paper and the result of the diploma examination as determined by the Committee. In the event of a positive result of the diploma examination, the Chairperson of the Examination Committee shall announce the result of the studies and announce the decision to award the appropriate degree.

9. The scan of the prepared protocol is sent electronically by the Chairperson of the Diploma Examination Committee to the selected member of the Committee, who after signing scans the document again and sends it to the next member. The signing procedure is repeated and the scan with signatures of all members is sent to the Chairperson, who after signing sends the scanned document again to the relevant Dean's Office. The members of the Commission shall send the originals of the printed and signed partial protocols to the Dean's Office to be stored in the student's file after the end of the restrictions in the functioning of the University.

10. In the case of diploma examinations concluding second-cycle studies, the condition for the consent of the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs to conduct a diploma examination using the methods and techniques of distance learning is the submission of a statement by the student applying for such an examination, together with an application for admission to the diploma examination, in which the student undertakes not to use his/her student ID card upon defending his/her diploma paper and passing the examination. The Student's ID card must be sent by registered mail to the Dean's Office, appropriate for his/her program of study, immediately after the diploma examination.

According to the announcement of the Vice-Rector for Education of 27 March 2020, until further notice, the only form of document transfer in the described graduation process is by electronic means.

Announcement of the Vice Rector for Education of TUL on the settlement of Erasmus+ student mobility which has been cancelled, suspended or terminated ahead of time due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Announcement of the Vice Rector for Education of Lodz University of Technology on the settlement of Erasmus+ student mobility which has been cancelled, suspended or terminated ahead of time due to the COVID-19 pandemic issued on the basis of Ordinance No. 21/2020 of the Rector of Lodz University of Technology of 9 March 2020 regarding specific measures related to the prevention, combat and counteraction of the SARS-CoV-2 virus at Lodz University of Technology.

GENERAL PROVISIONS:

The financial settlement of student mobility is based on a residence certificate issued by the host institution.

SITUATION 1 - A STUDENT WENT ABROAD AND BECAUSE OF COVID-19 RETURNED TO THE COUNTRY

Individual support:

The student has the right to keep the scholarship for the time of education/placement at the university/partner institution from the date of commencement of education/placement until the suspension of traditional classes/placement. For example, if the mobility started on 1 January and was to last until 1 July and the university suspended classes on 15 March, the student is entitled to individual support for the period from 1 January to 15 March.

The student must return the remaining part of the grant, i.e. from the date of suspension of classes at the partner university/end of the placement abroad (in the example mentioned above for the period from March 16th to July 1st), if all three of the following conditions are met in the case of studies or two in the case of placement:

• The student does not plan to return to the partner university/institution when it is reopened;
• The student, despite the partner university offering online learning, does not use it - not for placement trips
• The student does not incur any mobility costs (e.g. for accommodation abroad) even if he/she is back in the country.

If the student, despite his return to the country, is still obliged to bear costs, e.g. for accommodation, which could not be recovered, i.e. the evidence presented by the student shows that the period of bearing the aforementioned costs is longer than the period of stay abroad confirmed by the partner institution - this is a case of "force majeure" and the university must have the permission of the National Agency to settle such costs. In this situation, the student, after obtaining the consent of the National Agency, will be entitled to individual support at lump sum rates for each month for which he/she bears the aforementioned costs.

Travel:

If the student has not previously purchased a ticket to return to Poland resulting from the date of completion of the mobility, as stipulated in the financial agreement between the university and the student, it is not possible to recognise the cost of the ticket purchased due to COVID-19, as the student's mobility costs are covered by a grant received under individual support (KA103 - programme countries) or a lump sum for travel (KA107 - partner countries).

If the student has a return ticket to Poland (e.g. for the 1st of July), the university will only be able to recognize the cost of purchasing an additional ticket due to COVID-19 if the student is not able to cover such a cost from the received/subsidy amount. To settle the cost of the additional ticket, the flat rates resulting from the distance calculator will apply, not the actual costs. The costs of purchasing an additional ticket will be verified on the basis of:

• proof that the costs previously incurred for the purchase of the return ticket have not been recovered in any form,
• evidence that the student was not able to cover the cost of the additional ticket from the scholarship received/due.

SITUATION 2 - THE STUDENT HAS GONE ABROAD, SUSPENDED HIS OR HER MOBILITY AND HAS NOT/ CANNOT RETURN TO THE COUNTRY

Individual support:

The student has the right to keep the scholarship for the time of education at the partner university/professional practice at the host institution from the date of commencement of the education/professional practice until the suspension of the traditional form of classes/ suspension of the practice. For example, if the mobility started on 1 January and was to last until 1 July this year and the university suspended classes/placement on 15 March this year, the student has the right to individual support for the period from 1 January to 15 March this year.

The student will also be entitled to receive financial support for the time of education at the partner university/placement at the institution from the date of resuming traditional classes/placement until the end of mobility.

For the "break" period, participants may apply for a grant, if:

• plan to continue their mobility at the partner university/institution when it is reopened and, in the case of studies, participate in online activities, if offered;
• they cannot return to Poland due to restrictions imposed by the authorities of the country where they are staying.

After considering the situation of each student individually, the university will inform the grantee in advance about the amount of the calculated/due subsidy.

SITUATION 3 - THE STUDENT HAS NOT YET GONE ABROAD, BUT HAS BORNE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ORGANISING HIS OR HER TRIP

Recognition of costs will only be possible if, before the date of commencement of the mobility of the grant holder, a formal document was signed which gave the student the right to start organising the mobility (e.g. a financial agreement with the university, "Study/placement programme agreement"). (LA) signed by three parties, nomination confirmed by the host institution).

A student may apply for reimbursement of travel expenses, provided that he or she submits documentation to his or her home university showing that he or she has incurred expenses and that no form of recovery has been possible.

The flat rates resulting from the distance calculator and not the actual costs apply to the settlement of the ticket cost.

Other non-refundable costs related to the organisation of a trip that has been cancelled (e.g. deposit for the student dormitory, visa, insurance) may be covered in part by the organisational support of the university.

A student applying for recognition of the above described costs is obliged to reimburse the additional financial support received from the Polish Social Security Office in the amount of 250 euro (if received).

PLEASE NOTE:

A semester of study is accounted for as a semester of study at a foreign university if the student obtains a minimum of 50% of the sum of ECTS credits provided for this period in the Learning Agreement for Studies (part Before the mobility) at the foreign university. For a higher number of credits than 30 ECTS credits approved in the Learning Agreement for Studies (part Before the mobility), it is agreed that 15 ECTS credits are the minimum number to be recognised as a semester of study in a foreign institution.

IN OPEN SPACE: SOCIAL DISTANCE OR MASK (from May 30)

If in the open space you have the opportunity to keep 2 meters distance from others, you do not need to cover your mouth and nose. So you can walk, ride a bike, walk on the street, park, beach or parking lot without a mask - but only if you keep the right social distance.

Warning! If you are not able to keep a 2-meter distance from others in the open air - for example, on a crowded pavement - then you need to cover your mouth and nose. It's about our common security.

The obligation to maintain a 2-meter social distance excludes parents with children who need care (up to 13 years of age), people living together, people with disabilities, people who cover their mouths and nose.

Here you have to cover your mouth and nose!

There are places where you must cover your mouth and nose. Those are:

• buses and trams,
• shops,
• cinemas and theaters,
• massage and tattoo parlors,
• churches,
• offices (if you are going to settle some matter to the office).

Additional places where it will be necessary to cover the mouth and nose will be determined by the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate.

Exceptions. Where do you need to cover your mouth and nose?

• At work - if the employer ensures adequate distances between positions and meets sanitary requirements.
• In a restaurant or bar - when you take your seat at the table.

LIFTING THE LIMIT OF PEOPLE - IN SHOPS, AT THE FAIR, POST, IN RESTAURANTS (from May 30)

The limits of people in the commercial and catering industry are abolished. Until now, in a shop, restaurant, market, service center or post office, there must have been a certain area or number of windows per person. From May 30, this rule will cease to apply.

Warning! In catering establishments, there must still be an adequate distance between the tables. And customers must wear face masks before they sit at the table. All sanitary guidelines also apply - including hand and table disinfection.

Important! Remember that there is still an obligation to cover your nose and mouth in the store, market and post office. And in the store also mandatory hand disinfection or wearing gloves.

Religious ceremonies and funerals

The abolition of restrictions will also cover churches and other places of worship. Here, the limit of persons will also cease to apply from Saturday, May 30. Similarly with funeral ceremonies - the current limit of 50 people will not apply.

Important! In churches and temples, the faithful must cover their mouths and nose.

MEETINGS AND WEDDING UP TO 150 PEOPLE

Outdoor meetings up to 150 people (from May 30)

From Saturday, May 30, the organization of gatherings in which up to 150 people participate is allowed in open spaces. Participants must, however, cover their mouths and nose or maintain a 2-meter social distance.

Weddings and other family celebrations (from June 6)

We also enable the organization of weddings and family celebrations, in which up to 150 people participate.

Warning! Wedding guests do not have to wear face masks.

HOTELS FULLY OPEN

From May 30, restaurants and hotel bars can be opened and serve meals to guests. From June 6, however, swimming pools, gyms and fitness clubs can start operating in hotels.

Hotel owners must, however, follow certain sanitary rules.

CULTURE, SPORT, MASSAGE SALONS, FAIR (from June 6)

From June 6, activity may resume under certain sanitary conditions:

• cinemas, theaters, operas, ballet,
• swimming pools, gyms, fitness clubs, play rooms and amusement parks,
• saunas, solariums, massage and tattoo parlors.

It will also be possible to organize fairs, exhibitions and congresses.
