Individual Study Plan (ISP)

Study is based on an individual study plan, which, according to the valid study plan of accreditation, is prepared by the PhD students in cooperation with their supervisor, with whom he/she deals on a regular basis concerning all scientific and pedagogical issues and with whom the student is in regular contact. If an obligation isn’t met because of a serious reason, a request may be submitted to the Dean to move this task to the next year of study. The submission is reviewed by the supervisor and the department board. However, the attestation cannot be moved to the next year of study in the 3rd year of full-time study! Administrative and Technical Study Matters, not within the competence of the Charles University Faculty of Arts Research Office, such as the entering of attestations into SIS, protocols of the fulfilment/failure to pass attestations and the submission of dissertations are in the competence of Ph.D. ThLic. Drahomír Suchánek, Ph.D., Th.D. Within two months of starting studies, it is necessary to submit the assignment of the dissertation into SIS in cooperation with the supervisor.

Enrolling into courses on SIS

For a PhD student, it is mandatory to enrol into courses electronically using the Student Information System (SIS). The information on SIS (semesterly enrolled subjects and attestation results) are used parallel to protocols of the fulfilment/failure to pass attestations and the entry in the statement of study as proof of the process of study, as an attachment to a dormitory application, to print the Diploma Supplement etc. Data related to granting attestations are used not only to record the fulfilment of study obligations but also to accurately record the number and type of attestations granted by teachers. Electronic enrolment is done according to the academic year schedule.
