Information from the Head of the Crisis Management Centre, March 24, 2020.

Information on the education of students subject to mobility at TUL, from the head of the Crisis Management Centre, Prof. Krzysztof Jóźwik.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

In the present situation, the vast majority of research, teaching and teaching staff at Lodz University of Technology make a great effort to carry out as many classes as possible using distance learning methods. I would like to thank all of you for this effort. I would also like to thank the E-Learning Centre and the University IT Centre, whose employees, also temporarily delegated to work there, are always present at work and enable us to work remotely.

On the other hand, there are students, whom I would also like to thank very much for their efforts to ensure that the time of danger and the spreading epidemic is not a waste of time. One of the groups of students are students subject to mobility, ours and those from abroad who have decided to pursue part of their studies at Lodz University of Technology. Our mobile students had the opportunity to choose and they made decisions, some about returning and interrupting their studies at another university, some about returning to Poland and participating in classes carried out at a distance by the universities in which they decided to study during the mobile period. There is also a group that decided to stay outside Poland and they study there, mainly using distance learning methods - they are treated like all other students at these universities.

Foreign students could also decide on the further course of their studies, which they planned and started at our University. Some of them returned to their places of residence and universities, and they continue their education there. Others stayed in Lodz or went home, but want to continue to participate in the education process at our University. My heartfelt request to make it possible for them and to join, if you have not already done so, the groups with which you are providing distance learning. Many of these students had to go through a two-week quarantine period and joined the student groups with some delay. Please take this into account in this difficult period for all of us and give them a chance to continue their studies with us.

Wishing you good health, thank you again for your great effort

Krzysztof Jóźwik
