Thank you for your interest in courses provided by the Faculty of Humanities.
In general, the FHS courses listed as "Courses Available to Incoming Students" via the "Class" SIS Section (please see below) are available to exchange students outside the FHS per available capacity (to be seen during the Add/Drop period to courses) and entry requirements of individual courses.
Please note, however, that enrolment cannot be guaranteed in advance (neither by the IRO nor by the teachers).
Therefore, please avoid selecting your core courses outside your CU host faculty.
If you list some of the FHS courses in your Learning Agreement, please consider some backup choices from the course offerings of your host CU faculty too.
On the SIS, the FHS courses in foreign languages available to exchange students may be searched by filtering the Faculty of Humanities and the "Class" -Courses available to incoming students - via the SUBJECTS section and the appropriate semester.
If needed, change the academic year via the „Setup“ tab.
You can find the schedule under the Schedule tab in the course Details.
BA courses are assigned with "YB...." course codes, while MA courses with "YM....." codes.
When viewing the list, please note that those courses listed with the "YBAU"course codes (the AEP courses - previously UPCES) and the "YBAC"course codes (the CET courses) are held in cooperation with our partner institutions and there are some special enrolment restrictions that you need to be aware of, please see below.
When selecting courses for your Learning Agreement, please consider the course offer available at the time of applying and note that it is subject to change.
It will be possible to change courses during the add/drop period to courses at the begining of the semester.
The offer for the next academic year (semester) will be a modification of the current academic year course offerings. Some of the current courses might not be offered any longer, while some new courses will be introduced to provide a reasonable number of courses in the field of broad Humanities and Social Sciences.
Please keep in mind that most of your courses must be with your CU HOST Faculty.
Students register for the courses in a standard way via the SIS during the add/drop period.
For the exact start and end date, please, see the FHS academic calendar. Please, note that the dates may differ from those at your host CU faculty.
If capacity is full at the beginning of the add/drop period, we recommend you keep checking as spots may become available during the process.
At the FHS, there is no system of waiting lists for course registration.
Please note that if a course has a requisite course(s)/auxiliary group of prerequisites assigned, the system will not allow and approve enrollment.
If you have the required academic background and a strong interest in the course, you may contact the teacher and inquire whether enrollment would be possible under these circumstances. If approved, the instructor may enroll you manually in the SIS. Please note that enrollment priority is given to students of the Faculty of Humanities, both degree-seeking and exchange.
Please note that in the case of AEP courses (previously UPCES), the YBAU-coded ones, the courses require online registration in the SIS before attending the first class. Please, do not email teachers with requests for additional enrolment, as neither the teachers nor the staff can add students above course capacity. For detail information please see the course information on the SIS (the Registration requirements section).
If interested in any of the CET courses, the YBAC-coded ones, please, note that these courses are available in spring semesters only for those exchange students who are spending a full academic year at Charles University. For detail information please see the course information on the SIS (the Registration requirements section).
If you are requested to" validate" a particular course when enrolling in the Student Information System, you find the instructions here.
If the course is approved, it is still necessary to enrol it in a separate addittional step in the same way as other courses.
Please note that if a course has a requisite course(s) assigned, the system will not allow and approve enrollment.
If you have the required academic background and a strong interest in the course, you may contact the teacher and inquire whether enrollment would be possible under these circumstances.
