It takes place 27 th September–3 rd October for the winter term and 14 th February– 20 th February for the summer term. You should arrive during that week. There is a lot to do and arrange: we plan meetings concerning departments, sorting out your schedule, finding accommodation, ID cards, transport tickets…. The student club will also have something in store for you – free city tours, the welcome party, etc. The detailed program will be announced as soon as possible via e-mail. There will be an official registration for all Erasmus students during Orientation Week, where you will receive all necessary documents and instructions. You must bring your Letter of Admission and one passport photo with you. No student can be enrolled at the Faculty without this registration. If you have serious reasons for later arrival, your registration can be handled individually at the International Office in room 128 during office hours. 30 31
id cards Each international student is obliged to get his/her ID CARD (Identity Card), which is free of charge. It is a university chip card, which includes the most important information about a student (personal details, photo, signature, name and stamp of Charles University). This card will be valid for the period of time stated on the student’s application form. For this card, a coupon will be given to each student during registration. Students can pick up their ID card at two locations (see below). You have to bring along the coupon and your passport. You can receive an ISIC card instead of the normal Student ID Card for a fee of 300CZK: Choose the type carefully, changing it afterwards is not free of charge. You also have to pay for a new card in case of losing it. The IDs are issued at two distribution points: Faculty of Law (nám. Curieových 7, Praha 1) on the ground floor, left side, room No. 34 opening hours: Monday – Thursday 9:00 – 12:30 13:00 – 16:30 Friday 9:00 – 12:30 Information and Advisory Centre of Charles University (Celetná 13, Praha 1) opening hours: Monday – Thursday 9:00 – 12:00 12:30 – 18:00 Friday 9:00 – 12:00 12:30 – 16:00 You will use your ID or ISIC card for printing and making copies. To load your card with the amount you need use the charging machine (ground floor of the main building) or go the Library of Cultural Studies located off of the courtyard of the main building. registration at the foreign police If an EU citizen intends to stay in the Czech Republic longer than 30 days, he/she is obliged to report their place of residence at the department of Foreign Police up to 30 days after their entry into the country.
