Registration

International students do not enroll using USOS. To enroll, you have to contact the registrar of the Institute, Ms. Marta Czyzewska (martaczyzewska@uw.edu.pl), providing her with a list of the courses you have selected, along with their codes (3301-….) as well as your name and international student number (K-….). If you have selected a course or class that has multiple groups, include the time and day of the week the group you wish to be signed up for meets.

Please note that there are limits in the number of exchange students in other courses may sometimes be limited by the number of students already enrolled. If this happens, find a different one that fits your schedule, fill out the “Changes to Learning Agreement” section of your Learning Agreement and have both coordinators sign it.

Students received by different faculties will only be signed up for courses if there are available places.

IMPORTANT: Please remember that the registrar has a significant workload during the enrollment period. In addition, it takes a day for the data to migrate to USOS. Please refrain from emailing her daily, as this only prolongs the waiting period. If you still do not see yourself as registered for classes 4 days after sending her the email, you may check with the registrar personally. The registrar, Ms. Marta Czyżewska is available in room 2.410 (2nd floor), Monday-Thursday, 10 AM – 2 PM.

If you want to enroll in classes at another faculty, please contact their Erasmus+ coordinator.

Please be aware that the Institute of English Studies is not simply a school of English. All of our classes are taught in English and you must be fluent in English to pass these classes.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION concerning specific classes:

American Literature:
(3301-L1AL) – 2 ECTS points: These are small group classes (approx. 15 students). There is a final test at the end. You can sign up JUST for American Literature classes but be aware that the classes are worth only 2 ECTS points.
(3301-L1ALW) – 3 ECTS points: As these lectures last the entire academic year, they are only open to students who visit us for two semesters. The ECTS points are awarded upon passing the exam in the summer semester; attendence is insufficient to receive the credits.

Please note that passing the classes (3301-L1AL) is aprerequisite for taking the exams. You cannot sign up only for the lecture. If you wish/need to take the final exam (classes+lectures), you need to sign up for classes as well.

English Literature:
Passing the classes (3301-L1EL) is a prerequisite for taking the exam (which covers classes + lectures, 3301-L1ELW). Be aware that this course takes two semesters and the final exam (classes + lectures) is administered after the second semester. You get a grade for EACH semester of classes.

If you sign up for the entire year-long course, your test-taking will look like this:
1. Winter semester: final test for 1st semester of classes
2. Summer semester: final test for 1st semester of classes
3. Summer semester: final exam which covers 2 semesters of lectures + 2 semesters of classes.

Passing the classes is a prerequisite for taking the exam.
You can sign up just for the classes in both cases (i.e. without the lectures)
