Dean’s Days 29th-30th April

Dear Students,
After consulting with the Dean of Faculty, I have decided to declare the 29th and 30th of April as holidays from classes held at the Faculty of Archaeology UW (note! This does not apply to classes held outside the faculty, such as OGUN, lectures, and PE—here, you should follow the guidelines of other units).
I hope you will return to your studies enthusiastically after the extended May holiday.

With best regards,

Elżbieta Jaskulska

Vice-Dean for Student Affairs
Faculty of Archaeology, UW

Organisation of field survey courses

Dear students,

Given the approaching date of the field surveys (8-12 April), I would like to remind you that students participating in the 30-hour field survey courses will receive an excuse for their absences, including absences from language courses and PE classes (sent to the relevant units after the lecturers have entered the grades in USOS system).

For planned multiple absences, lecturers may cancel classes in the affected groups.

If students are taking excavation exercises during the surface term, I remind you that the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs will excuse a maximum of three weeks of absences related to fieldwork activities during the course semester based on an application submitted in the USOS system.
