FAQs for PE in general at the university

All full-time students in bachelor's and long-cycle master's degree programs are required to complete 2 physical education courses.
This requirement does not apply to students in part-time study, follow-up master's and doctoral programs, students in professional degree programs, Primary School Teacher Education, Preschool Teacher Education, Paramedic Science, Physiotherapy, and students of the Faculty of Sports Studies (FSpS).

Further information on course registration is governed by the Measure for University-Wide Physical Education.

You must complete the physical education course twice in your studies. Do not leave it for later, but complete these compulsory courses as early as possible, at the beginning of your studies.

You can find an overview of the courses offered (course codes p9xx) on the FSpS Centre of University Sport website (see QR code below). Courses for compulsory PE | University Sports Centre | MUNI SPORT

The registration deadlines for courses for each semester are listed on the CUS website under the link Registration and Enrollment for Mandatory Physical Education. Registration takes place in waves, with students from the highest years registering first. First-year students can register 8 working days after the start of registration.

Don't register for more than one compulsory PE course in the same semester. If you do, you won’t be enrolled for any of them and will end up studying none.

After completing 2 credits of p9xx courses, you can only register for Discounted exercise offer for MU students

You can find below Information on registering for compulsory PE for MUNI students.

Compulsory PE

Students do not have to re-enroll in failed courses. The system does not force university-wide compulsory PE courses on them. However, if they re-enrol themselves in a course with the same code, it is registered as a repeat. This means they must complete it or their studies will be terminated.

Absence due to illness should be addressed by the student through the study department of their home faculty. The student must provide an excuse slip, which the study department will then record in the information system (IS). Starting from the autumn semester of 2023, students are allowed a maximum of two excused and two unexcused absences. If a student exceeds this limit, they cannot successfully complete the course and will receive an N grade. In the following semester (which does not have to be immediately after), the student must take the compulsory PE course of their choice. They can select the same course or choose another one from the available offerings for that semester.

Registration takes place in waves; students with the highest grades are the first to register for courses. First-year students can register after eight working days. More about registration waves here: Registration and Enrollment (muni.cz)

In the event of long-term health restrictions, the student may apply to register for p999 Physical Education - Health Exemption. They must provide a report from a doctor. The Study Department will ask for an opinion from the Teiresias Centre (Dr. Rajda).

If a student has certain medical restrictions, still wishes to take a compulsory PE course but does not know which course is suitable for them, they can contact the Teiresias Centre and request a consultation. According to the specific health restrictions, the learners will be offered the subjects that are suitable for the restrictions.

The student can see the information in Registration and Enrolment of Courses in IS.

Course registration is done by the student during the course registration, course enrolment and course change periods (i.e., no later than the first two weeks of classes). Only a course that is not at full capacity may be registered for.

• After the deadline for registering course changes, the student should apply to their home faculty to re-register the course, which will request feedback from the FSpS on the available capacity; if the capacity is available and the required attendance can still be met, approval will be granted and the decision is up to the home faculty. After enrolling in the course, the student will immediately contact the course supervisor and request to be enrolled in a seminar group with free capacity.
• If the student wishes to re-register the course for another course, they can do so on their own no later than during the first two weeks of classes, when they should de-register from the course and register for another course with available capacity.
• If a course/seminar group is cancelled for not meeting the minimum capacity, students from these courses/seminar groups are allowed to register for another course with free capacity no later than during the first 2 weeks of classes.
  
  

Students who participate in national or regional competitions and regularly train several times during the week may apply for a sports exemption. The student should register for code p998 Physical Education - Sports Exemption. They should then provide proof of training attendance and results in competitions. The Office of Student Services will then forward this to Pavlína Vaculíková, Ph.D. (vaculikova@fsps.muni.cz)

This situation should not arise if the number of people who can enrol in the course is limited. The student can see the number of places in the group in IS. It is a good idea to monitor the occupancy of the seminar group even in the first two weeks of the semester. During this time of possible changes in the timetable, it is possible to change seminar groups and register courses freely, so that space may still become available.
If this situation occurs, the student should contact the course advisor.

Yes, anyone can register for a course taught in English, but priority is given to students in English degree programmes. Even if you are within the ranking order, the Information system will alert you to an unmet prerequisite for the degree programme for which the English courses are intended. You have the option to apply for an exception from the course guarantor. However, it's important to note that exception requests will only be processed by the guarantor starting from the first day of the semester, and they are subject to the course's capacity.

If you are a student in the English study programme and have registered for a course conducted in English, but find that the course has reached its capacity, please apply for an exception. Priority for enrolment in English-taught courses is given to students in English degree programmes over those in Czech degree programmes or students for whom physical education is not obligatory (such as Erasmus students). If the course is fully subscribed by students falling into these categories, the course guarantor has the authority to grant an exception, allowing you to successfully enrol in the course.

It is a good idea to apply for an exception if you are over the capacity limit and have successfully fulfilled the Occupational health and safety training. It's crucial to note that if you haven't completed the Occupational Health and Safety training yet (the link will be sent to your IS inbox the day after course registration), the teacher won't be able to grant you an exemption in cases of capacity releases or increases within the course.
