All right. Are we live yet? Good morning. All right. Good morning. I think we're already live. Welcome to the onarding meeting, the exotic onarding meeting. during which we want to tell new students about studying. Good morning, because there is a huge difference between studying and learning in high school. That's why today we have prepared for

you an hour, an hour of 15 of the most important information. During this meeting, we also have the opportunity to ask questions in the chat, which I see you are already using to greet us. We warmly welcome everyone to the Faculty of Economics and Sociology. For now, it's still online, but we'll see you there on Wednesday and Friday, so please

use this chat to ask questions about the content we're currently discussing and that has already been discussed, so please don't get ahead of yourself when it comes to the content. If we don't touch on a particular topic, we'll stay at the end, for a moment, to answer these questions. Our colleagues from the department answer questions in the chat

. Before we start the substantive part, I would like to introduce you to the people presenting today. First of all, I would like to introduce the head of the Student Service Center, Ms. Joanna Mdał Kobierecka. Today we also have him from the Support and Accessibility Center, Ms. Katarzyna Wieczorek and Agnieszka Michałowska Gabrielczyk. The

director is also with us, a doctor, of the

faculty development center. We are very pleased to welcome you to this meeting, which will consist, so to speak, of two parts. First, we will tell you very briefly about the place, time and people of Egu. A little bit about Egoc himself, because that's how we'll call our faculty, and then we'll talk about the 20

onboarding steps, i.e. the 20 steps we've prepared for you to make it easier to get started with studying. We have 20 steps before starting our studies. 10 steps before starting your studies and 10 steps after starting your studies. The same steps that we will be talking about in this main part of our meeting,

you will find in onboarding, which is a written form of what we will be

familiar with, and as I said, if you have any questions, ask them in the chat. Okay, time to start our meeting. As I said, the department, I hope you already know this, is called the Department of Economics and Sociology of the University of Lodz. This combination of economics and sociology is our meeting. As I said, the

department, I hope you know, is called the Faculty of Economics and Sociology of the University of Lodz, it's a combination of economics and something, I have signals here that you can't hear our meeting, as I said,

let me know if everything is okay. Okay,

fine, let's try again. This is the first time we are organizing such an onboarding meeting for you, so it can actually happen here. It 's not okay.

Now here I got a signal that everything should be fine. Now it's fine. Great, it works. Okay , here we are. Ladies and gentlemen, should I repeat something? Maybe I'll say something backwards. It 's okay now. It's okay for the time being. It's already here . All right. Okay, let's get started. At this

point, I said in the meantime that all the information that we will be talking to you about today is also available under the QR code that is in the lower right corner of each slide. So please familiarize yourself with this slowly . Of course, not during the meeting, but during later studies. This is available to you at

all times. And getting back to what we have on the slide right now, the name of our department. The Faculty of Economics and Sociology is the only such combination in Poland and we shorten it to y of this very name Exots. You will also hear your older colleagues using this very name exot. Here, if you

have any doubts about how it is declined, we have the declination of exoc by cases in the presentation. The things that are worth knowing about our faculty when starting your studies are probably that it is the largest faculty, the largest faculty of the University of Lodz. We have 500 employees and almost 5,000

students here. Um, the department was founded in 1965 . Also last year we celebrated our big anniversary, well, the next one is in 9 years. So, um, we are a department with long, um, traditions. I think this is enough for a start . Such knowledge about the department will be completely sufficient for you.

Studying is first and foremost about people. You will meet with lecturers, professors, doctors, people who will guide you through the study process . You will also meet many people from your student year and from various organizations. That is why we wanted to introduce you to the authorities, or at least the main representatives of the authorities of our

department. The university is a huge structure headed by a rector, let's say the president of the university, who, together with the rector's college, i.e. his assistants, the vice-rectors, runs the university. Currently, the rector of the University of Łyck is Professor Rafał Matera. And the university consists of 12 or 13 faculties, if we count the branches in

Tomaszów. And at the head of each faculty, for example our faculty, is a dean together with the Dean's College, which manages our quite large, our quite large unit. And our faculty is headed by Dean Professor Mariusz Sokołowicz. You will meet the Dean's College and a representative of the Rector's College at the inauguration of our

faculty, which will take place on Wednesday at 10:00. There is no representative of the College with us today, because our meeting is purely organizational, so that you can learn the secrets of studying. Um, a very important person, uh, apart from the authorities, apart from the lecturers, apart from the colleagues, is the year supervisor, about whom the head of Cosu will say a few words

. Uh, yeah, the year supervisor is another right-hand man of the dean. yyy it is an academic teacher appointed by the dean yyy who acts as a link between students and the faculty authorities and academic teachers y or [snort][clear throat] student service center. His role is particularly important now at the beginning of the

academic year, but remember that he will be at your disposal practically all year round. The supervisor helps in providing information, reporting problems and explaining matters related to the organization and course of studies. Each course has its own supervisor. The list can be found on the website in the student zone. And in October I will organize a

meeting for you, but more on that a little later. Another important link is the Student Service Center and the lady from the Dean's Office. Probably your parents, older siblings, and older siblings remember the name Dean's Office. Exactly because it is a student service center. The names have simply been changed. The Dean's Office, in short, is the office that

serves students and keeps all documentation of your studies from the moment of admission until the moment of issuing your diploma. This is the place where almost all matters related to the course of studies are dealt with. For example, personal data is updated or an application for leave from work is submitted. Um, well, if

someone should get a leg, it's still about the condition or repetitions. Um, it is the Student Service Center that, for example, assigns you to classes, settles your semesters, registers you for subsequent years of study, and finally issues you a diploma of completion of studies. An important note is that in the dean's office,

matters are dealt with individually, personally. We often encounter situations where parents call on your behalf to ask for some certificate that they will need for work. They also often come to ask about your situation at the university or about collecting such a certificate. It is possible. However, you must remember that you must

personally authorize such a person at the dean's office. you will need the ID card number of that person. However, remember that no one will handle any matters on your behalf without authorization . Even though these are sometimes the simplest things, you are adults and as employees, the rules of half-payment apply to us.

You will definitely visit Cos Rooms more than once . They are located on the ground floor and on the mezzanine floor of building D. The closest entrance is from Połowo Street, which is currently being renovated. It will definitely be available soon. Before visiting the Dean's Office, remember to check the opening hours and, above all,

collect a ticket from the ticket machine. The ticket machine is located directly at the entrance. After reading the ticket, you do not put it in your pocket, you just read the information. There will be a room number and the station where you will be served. The recalled numbers will be displayed on screens in the corridors.

In the order of download, of course. In the presentation you can see the shifts for today. They will change throughout the semester , so it is important to monitor them on an ongoing basis. You don't see Saturday office hours, because we don't have a full schedule of meetings for part-time students yet. However, I can say that

the next Saturdays will definitely be full of girls, and information about both the shifts and meetings will soon be available on the website in the student zone. The services in the dean's office are divided according to fields of study. This means that each direction, each direction is the responsibility of a different person.

You will certainly receive emails from this person more than once . Since you are here, the first news is already behind you. A detailed list of names and email addresses can also be found on the website in the student zone. It's worth getting to know them. Usually, this cast of ladies leading the courses is permanent,

so you can become friends. Next slide, please. Kasia, yes I am. We talked about people, so you already know a little about the dean, the rector, the year supervisor and the student service center and the people working there. Of course, you will definitely meet in person soon. However, Exot is also a place, a rather large place.

You have probably passed our department many times, if you are from Łódź, moving around the city. Our building is located on Rewolucji Street between Kilińskiego and POW. The building, you can't say that it's one building. Our department consists of seven interconnected buildings , so you can walk on dry feet in the rain all the way from the fishing port to the final

entrance in the so-called palm tree. M and so as many as we have buildings. It seems to us that we have to enter this much. However, you will certainly discover some secret passages, because it happens that after many years of work we are able to discover some new place in the faculty. 86 rooms, that's how many we counted. How do we

get to the room, knowing that for example in USOI, which we will talk about in a moment, in your journal there is a room number, which is what you see in the front, which is C, this is the symbol of the building. We have seven buildings, but the letters don't go completely alphabetically, because we have A,

B, C, D, E, F, and T. So suddenly the letter T appears. And interestingly, building T is actually in the middle between the end of our piece of the alphabet and the beginning. If you're heading to, for example, room 212, [clears throat] that means the first two in front are the second floor, and 12 is the

room number, so if we want to find room C 212, we're heading to building C. At every entrance to the building, the main entrance, you'll have a map of the entire faculty, so you'll have to find building C there, then head to the second floor, and on that second floor, there shouldn't be a problem finding

room 12. M. You'll also see a series of neon signs in our faculty, which describe places that are special to the faculty community. I won't reveal what these names are, but we hope that during your study you will be able to discover the history of these names. Or maybe members of your family have already studied here.

You will be able to ask why Palma is Palma, and why a pavilion? Oh, I betrayed two pavilions. As for access, um, we are located in the city center, you could say. Um, you can reach us from virtually anywhere by public transport. We have two shelters, one with a roof, and plenty of places to

store bikes and scooters. Of course you can also reach us. on foot, as for the parking lot for students, it is also located at the faculty, but please remember that 5,000 students will not fit there, so we encourage those who can to come to the faculty by public transport or by bike, because this way of

getting to us is very comfortable. I think that should be enough about the place . And the third thing is time. Time passes at university, at any higher education institution, a little differently than in high school. In high school you simply attended classes as scheduled, yes, in Librus or Volcano. However, in our case this time is

divided a little differently. We start the academic year on October 1. Classes start on October 2, but each semester has a very similar structure, i.e. we have two semesters in the academic year and one semester consists of 14 weeks of classes. It depends on the faculty, so if someone studies at a university or studies somewhere else, it

may be slightly different. Do we have 14 weeks of classes, then an exam session that usually lasts two weeks, probably always, right Asia? Two weeks. And then we have a break. Depending on which semester it is. The break will be either a very short one-week break after the winter semester, or a very long one after the

summer semester, because, as you know, students have up to three months of summer holidays, summer break. Of course, depending on whether you manage to pass these exams on the first attempt. Um, and after a short, winter or long summer break, there is a make-up session. Um, also this retake session lasts from a

week to two weeks depending on the year and semester. So you will have to read about this in our calendar, which you can see in front of you. You can of course take a photo of yourself, but this information is available in the student area on our website and also during onboarding. Days

off from classes, of course, like all public holidays, but we also have something called Rector's Day here for part-time studies. These are days off for the university community, for students and for lecturers, and sometimes also for the administration, let's say through data assigned by the rector. Here you can also try to collect the entire academic year for you

. Instead, it starts on October 1st, as you know. However, classes do not start until October 2nd. Friday is the first day of your classes. Moving on, as we said at the beginning, we will now move on to the 20 steps of your exc onboarding, i.e. the 10 steps that you should take before you

start studying and then we will talk about the 10 steps that are worth or should be taken after you start. We start with the first step, which is setting up a university account. Um, first of all, let me say that most of you probably already have your university account. Part-time students are certainly still missing it, and that's only because

recruitment ended on Friday. Um, data migration and account activation are beyond us. This is what is happening systemically. This must take a while. However, for this group, the accounts will definitely be ready this week, so just wait. I know you often ask about this on various forums. [clears throat] Returning to the topic, a university account

is an individual profile in university systems such as Student Mail, USOS Web, i.e. your journal, the Moodle platform, the Office suite or the WiFi network. The email address assigned to you along with the recruitment account in the university domain, i.e. ending in eduunilot.pl, is also your login to all university systems that you

will use during your studies. First of all, you need to make friends with the university post office. This is the main communication channel with both academic teachers and organizational units of the entire university. Please remember that in contacts with each employee you are obliged to use only this email address, this address in the

university domain. [snort] Emails sent from other domains may remain unanswered. Of course, not out of malice, but only because the anti-spam system will reject it itself. It is worth setting up a signature in your university email, i.e. the so-called footer, which should include your name and surname, the name of the field of study, the

form and level of studies, i.e. whether it is full-time or part-time, first-cycle or second-cycle, and the album number, i.e. the index number. This index album number is already assigned to you in the USOS system. You will also find it on your ID card. A signature is required for each message . Well, yes, we already know that. The

rest of the information will make it easier for employees and teachers to verify you. Well, there are over 5,000 students, and the entire USOS database, in the entire USOS database there are students from all faculties, from all years. So the similarity of names and surnames is certainly repetitive. Well, it happens very often

. So, in order for us to be aware of who we are corresponding with, and above all, to be able to provide you with reliable information about your studies, we need to know exactly which Ania Kowalska we are corresponding with. But what is USOS web? Here, my friend initially said that this is

your new diary. This is an abbreviation for the University Study Management System. It is a virtual space where you will find your class schedules, exam grades, registration tokens for PE classes, and contact details for lecturers via USOS web. You will certainly also be able to apply for scholarships. However, if you use your phone more often than your computer, download the

USOS mobile app to your device. She has such a cool gadget. will be able to send you notifications, for example, about prices posted by lecturers. Of course, not yet, everything in its own time. However, it is certainly a very convenient tool. Moodle is an online e-learning platform where you can complete, for example, the

necessary training, and sometimes also take some tests or assessments, but more on that later. we can move on to the next step. Um, if you haven't applied for a place in a dormitory yet, we have information from Lumumbowa that students can still apply for a place in student dormitories via the US system. The

fourth electronic round is currently underway and people, especially those who joined us in the second recruitment, will now be able to apply for such a place . Here, we will direct you to the onboarding and link provided by the student housing estate to contact and check all information directly from the source. Moving on, WF.

Yes, you have already been informed about WFE , certainly the students from the first round, but one more small note, because I know that there are also part-time students with us. PE applies to full-time studies only. Um, in the first year of studies, but only in the first cycle, i.e. bachelor's degree, there are compulsory

physical education classes. Registration for this PE takes place exclusively electronically via USOS web using tokens. The registration itself has already started, you were informed about it by email, and it lasts until October 11, so don't worry. Um, when registering you have to choose an interesting sport discipline, and Monday is scheduled for classes for students of our

faculty. At the bottom you have a list of which courses and Fridays. Um, you often ask on the forums whether you can choose uh PE on a day other than the dedicated one. You can, if you can find a place. However, you must be aware that this Friday at these hours and Monday are dedicated because

during these hours you have a window from other activities. So even though, for example, you don't see any classes scheduled for Thursday today, and you're interested in a certain sport, it unfortunately doesn't mean that mid-semester, because classes often start in the second half of the semester, these classes won't clash, and then there will be a

really big problem, because you won't find another place for physical education classes, everything will be taken, and you certainly won't be able to change the dean's group because you've already started classes, so theoretically you can, but practically you do it at your own risk. WEFU classes last two semesters. You will need to register for classes again in the summer semester. And

three last comments regarding PE. If any of you started your studies earlier, for example if you are starting them again this year or are studying another subject and have already completed physical education classes, you can apply for a grade transfer. Secondly, attendance at these classes is very important, as well as the number of

absences, of course I won't tell you now how many, it's up to the teacher to decide, but you can make up a certain number of these classes . Certainly not all of them, so it may turn out that you will not be allowed to pass. So even though these are just Wyfu classes, please

attend them. The third important piece of information is that the Physical Education and Sports Department does not accept standard sick leave certificates exempting students from the entire subject. The university creates conditions for everyone. People with health problems can also choose from special, gentle forms of activity, such as health gymnastics or relaxation exercises, or even sports britch.

So, regardless of your health condition, everyone will find something good. Well, it's time for the next step. Okay, so we've covered the first three issues. The fourth, if anyone has familiarized themselves with our onboarding on the website, is our meeting today. I know there have been questions about whether we will be releasing a

recording of this meeting. That is the plan to make this meeting available to you so that you can watch it. However, remember that what we say is repeated again in the same steps on the website, which you will find at the bottom in this QR code. Moving on to step five. Today we are meeting for

our organizational onboarding meeting , but we would like to solemnly inaugurate the new academic year 2026-2027. September 30, i.e. on Wednesday at 10:00. at our faculty, at the faculty of economics and sociology. This will be an inauguration addressed to you, to new people studying at our faculty only. Aula T1 is the largest hall of our

faculty and you will find it by entering through the entrances from the Revolution or simply by entering the courtyard from Rewolucji Street and then this large glass pane will be our hall. After the meeting, after the inauguration, during which you will meet the authorities of our faculty, you will be able to take

the oath and you will officially become students of our faculty and university. There will be so- called orientation meetings before or after. Field meetings differ from commencement ceremonies in that they are about getting to know your classmates, of course, but above all, your lecturers, the people who lead your course , and the institute that runs your course

. You will certainly learn more about the studies themselves, about what subjects, what specializations, what modules, what additional opportunities the fields of study you have chosen offer you. This schedule is of course also available on our website. Here you can see the hours and the room. As I mentioned earlier, if we are dealing

with, for example, lecture hall C101, it will be a different building than these, that is, although they are connected by a so-called connector, first floor, room 01. However, we will of course be here as faculty employees to help you find your way around our labyrinths on that day , because it cannot be said that

Exot is not a labyrinth like this. So, on Wednesday at 10:00, and some even at 8:45, they will show up at the faculty, first they will have their specialization meetings, then we will all meet together at 10:00 in the auditorium, and some will start their specialization meetings at 11:45. If you have any questions about

the inauguration and orientation meetings, please feel free to contact me via chat. There, friends will give suggestions. We move on. Step six. Student status, i.e. signing the oath. At this moment you only have the status of being accepted to studies. However, it does not yet mean having student status. You will only acquire status after

taking the oath. Um, you will take one oath solemnly during the inauguration, but mainly it is an electronic oath in the USOSB system. When taking the oath, you will also have to approve a declaration of familiarization with the terms and conditions of charging fees for educational services at the University of Lodz. Confirmation of the oath and declaration

is done electronically. M there you just need to read the content and accept it. Oaths and declarations are now available for those accepted in the first round of full-time studies. They will be active until October 9 and this is the deadline for their final acceptance. However, for those admitted in the second round of

full-time studies, I know that you already have accounts, but I am not sure, because it happened literally over the weekend, whether these oaths are already available. If not, they will definitely be active before October 1st and the final deadline for acceptance is October 9th. No acceptance. Well, since you're here, I assume you're taking up studies. Y, however, if

you have registered for more than one course, you often do so to be insured if the course does not start, but also because you have not yet decided which one you will formally and officially choose to attend. However, if you do not intend to pursue one of these paths, be careful when accepting the vow. You accept

the vows and declarations in the field you are taking, but in the field you know you will give up, you reject, literally reject the vows. The statement regarding fees applies to all students, both full-time and part-time students. Um, here I am explaining and reassuring you that while full-time studies are free of charge, yes, fees for

conditions or repetitions are charged to all students, from all students, therefore this declaration is mandatory for everyone. And speaking of fees, here is some brief information for part-time students. The fee for the first year of studies is PLN 6,000. Fees can be paid in one lump sum for the year or semester, or in installments.

All this information will be made available to you via email. And there are also, I will mention, discounts. For payment by a specific date, if you pay in advance for the year or in advance for the semester, you can get a discount. Discounts are also available to students who have a large family card.

All details regarding the installment system, fees and discounts can also be found on our website in the student zone, in the tuition fees tab. We can move on to the next step, which is the student ID. It can be issued in two forms. Mlegitymacja, i.e. a completely virtual ID card, is generated systemically and free of charge for all

students with a PESEL number. To use it, you do not need to apply for it , but you must have the Mbywatel application installed. And please note that this ID card will be active after signing the electronic oath, but not earlier than October 1. So even if you clicked the oath today, or if

you do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the ID card may only be valid and active on October 1. October 1 is the period when studies begin all over Poland, at all universities. However, students without a PESEL number must apply for a traditional plastic ID card. And this is the second form, i.e.,

foreigners, of which there is no shortage here at the faculty, remain without a PESEL number . They can, you foreigners, only use this form just because you simply can't have, you can't have access to m citizen. However, people who have PESL, apart from having this virtual ID, if they want, can have the second form, i.e. the traditional

plastic one. To receive it, you must submit an appropriate application to the Student Service Centre and bring confirmation of the payment of PLN 22. Yyy the application itself, account number yyy is available on the website in the student zone. And I invite you to the next step. Check the class schedule. I will mention it first, because we also have a lot of

questions on this matter. Those accepted in the second round and, in a moment, those accepted for part-time studies will receive information about setting up an account. This does not mean you have access to the plan. Creating an account, as I mentioned, is done systematically, but it is the dean's office that registers you for classes. You, apart from

PE, do not choose your own classes, you do not choose your own classes, you do not sign up for them. However, this will inevitably take a while. So activating your account is one thing. Now the staff needs at least a few hours to place you in all the dean's groups. I assume, assure and promise that before

October 2nd, as far as full-time studies are concerned, you will all see your plans. I think you will see them tomorrow at the latest. Part-time studies, however, will have to wait a little longer, but I think it will be by the end of the week, and you will definitely have the schedule available

before the first meeting, because it is only on October 10-11, so there is still some time. Now, to the point. I would like to mention that education at our faculty takes place on a full- time basis. Study plans are available at USOSB. after logging in, um, although you can check them without having to log in.

Um, you'll find the instructions in the student area. Um, but without logging in you won't see which group you are in and you will see the overall plan for the entire year. Therefore, I think that you should calmly wait for your logins and follow this plan after logging in. We look for the plan in the My Usos Web tab. M

on the left side there will be a column yyy with specific yyy entries. We select the class schedule and note that the schedule should be viewed in the weekly, non-semester view, because the schedule for a given week may differ from the next, because you will have some classes, for example, every two weeks. Due to possible changes, the plan

should be monitored on an ongoing basis. This is especially important now after starting your studies. E, I think that by the end of October there may be some minor, but also important changes, so let's agree that for the first month you really look at him, at him literally every day. You may see different symbols next to the item in the blueprint. These are the types of

activities. Um, and often one subject will have two forms, for example a lecture yyy with the symbol W and exercises with the symbol C or a lecture and laboratory yyy with the symbol LA. [clears throat] Other possible forms of classes will also include conversation classes with the symbol K, WR workshops, and language courses with the symbol L.

Lectures are basically the only classes where you meet as a whole faculty. You will attend the remaining classes in groups of 20 or 30 people maximum. I assume that in laboratories, i.e. computer classes, these groups can consist of up to 15 people. Important note: in the first year of studies , attendance at all classes

is obligatory. The instructor will mention the details to you during the first class. Remember that attendance may be a component of the final grade, and is certainly crucial for admission to a pass or, if necessary, for retakes. Classes for full-time studies are held only from Monday to Friday, however, in the winter semester,

some courses will be held only on Mondays and will remain so throughout the semester. Part-time students study only on weekends, by default every two weeks. Um, however, due to public holidays falling during the year, sometimes it is necessary to deviate from this rule, so you may encounter a case where you will have two or three weeks and

two weeks in a row, and then uh, respectively, weekends off. As I mentioned, the first meeting will take place on the weekend of October 10 or 11, so there is still quite a bit of time and we can move on to the next step, the 12th, the ninth, sorry. [laughter] We have 10 steps ahead of us. In step 10, we will tell you that

you are starting classes, so we only have one more step left before the first class, and that is to familiarize yourself with university etiquette. We write about this in more detail in onboarding, and here I wanted to outline for you, we wanted to outline for you perhaps the most important issues that are worth

highlighting. yyy as yyy the manager mentioned yyy all e-mail correspondence that you will conduct with representatives of our university must be conducted using the account assigned to you, i.e. we will not respond to e-mails that come from outside our network. Oh, and as for the footer, Asia has already said what it should

look like. Please configure it yourself . However, how we start and end correspondence is also important. We would like to remind you to start each email with the words " Dear Sir", "Dear Madam" and then either a comma, right? If we are writing to a person who does not use the title, and we can of course also write: "Dear Madam,

Dear Mrs. Magister" or: "Dear Madam, Dear Mr. Doctor, Dear Mr. Professor, Dear Mr. Professor". Yes, we start emails and avoid forms. Hello. Ultimately, you could also start the email with a standard one. Good morning. In the same spirit, we do not end our emails with goodbye. [snort] We rather try to use phrases like "with respect" or "with

due respect" here. These are very standard and elegant ways of ending an email. Of course, you don't have to take notes. All of this is in our onboarding or will be if we notice any deficiencies. Titles matter. On the wusos you will see what academic title the person in charge has. That is why it is worth using this title in such

e-mails and in verbal communication , addressing the person as Mrs. Doctor, Mrs. Professor, Mr. Professor, respectively. Of course, we don't have to tell you that it's rude to use phones during classes . We strive to ensure that this environment is conducive to learning for you and to work for our lecturers. That is why we are asking

for such culture in the use of telephones. Of course, we mute them, but in fact it would be best if they didn't disturb us during the entire class. Um, when it comes to attire, of course we don't encourage any specific attire during y classes. We want you to dress according to the place, i.e. you are going to

university. However, it is worth considering, for example, an elegant outfit for the inauguration, because it is probably the most festive event of the academic year. So always think about whether you are taking an exam, attending an inauguration, or just going to class, what it will be like, how well you will feel in a given

situation, and whether your clothes will be appropriate for the meeting you are going to. As for winter, of course it will come and we will all come in coats. We have two self-service cloakrooms. One in building D and the other in building T and you can leave your jackets and outerwear there. We have

two very nice places to eat at the faculty. We have a canteen where you can buy lunch, but we also have the so-called zenith. Here we reveal the cards of the next place and the next neon sign. This is a space where you can heat up your own lunch. And we don't have to

talk about punctuality. Punctuality is very important. Remember this especially in the first few days. Sorry, you will definitely get lost in the department. So let's remember to be on time. And step 10. We begin our studies. So, ladies and gentlemen, October 2nd awaits you, [cough] I'm very sorry. We check the first classes in

USOS to see when and where they take place. As I said, you will definitely get lost and it will definitely be difficult at first. That's why students yyy associated with the faculty student government council have prepared walks around the faculty for you, which will take place on October 7, 8 and 9. They will all

start at 1:05 p.m. and as you walk through our courtyard, you will see the bike shelter and all these meetings will start there. We strongly encourage you to participate in these meetings, as it is quite difficult to discover the intricacies of our department on your own. Just in time, Kasia, step 12, the

mandatory meeting with the year supervisor. I have already mentioned the guardian to you. In October you will probably meet your supervisor at some class . You will certainly be notified of the specific date and place directly by this supervisor. Participation in the meeting will be mandatory in principle. The supervisor will familiarize you in detail with the

study regulations, the principles of organizing the academic year, and the basic procedures related to the course of study. It's completely calm now. There is a lot of this information today . The supervisor will certainly repeat them and certainly expand on them in detail. He will also tell you about possible scholarship support, development opportunities, and

interesting faculty initiatives, because studying is not just about learning. Importantly, at the meeting you should elect from among yourselves the representative of the year, the so-called starosta. a person who, i.e. a person who will represent you, you as a group in current organizational matters or in solving any problems concerning the entire year. We do not anticipate

such scenarios, but unfortunately they may happen. So, as I mentioned, the supervisor is simply a representative of the course on the part of the lecturers, and the starost on the part of the students. I know you don't know each other yet, but these meetings will definitely not take place today or the day after tomorrow. I think that after the

first and second classes it will be easy for you to choose a friend who will later represent you with dignity . Of course, you can also handle your own affairs on your own . Um, but sometimes it 's more convenient for one person to represent you. [snort] The next step 13 is to complete the mandatory

learning training. Everything seems to be mandatory here now, there's a lot of everything, but if you divide it up nicely, I think you'll get the hang of it quickly. Um, so yes, apart from the classes you see in the study plan or in the curriculum grids, as first-year students you must complete three

mandatory e-learning courses. They will take place on the Moodle platform. These are occupational health and safety training, copyright training and library training. Please note that obtaining credits for these three training courses is a condition for passing the first semester of studies. Um, there's really plenty of time to pass them , because it's until the end of the

winter semester. Details on accessing the course will be available soon on the faculty website. They will also be sent and made available to you via email. I mentioned that there is plenty of time, but I really sincerely recommend it, and listen to the good advice from the gentleman from the dean's office, complete this training

as soon as possible. Don't wait until the beginning of the session or the end of the term, because there are many more important things at the beginning. Now there may be a lot of new things to take in, but believe me, once you get to the studies and the session, forget about these

trainings completely, and without them you won't pass the first year. They are really very simple. All you need to do is read the materials first and then take a short test. You can support each other, even sit together. E, of course, everyone has to log in to their account to see the final result, i.e. the test result, and

then it will be uploaded to our USOS system, so you can easily complete it during a window or, I don't know, set aside time to complete it on a Monday, which is completely freer than classes. Next step. Katarzyna, we will now invite you. We're already at 14, so we have 6 to 20 left. Then

we can recall them all when we go to boarding. And now I invite our librarians to tell you a few words about the faculty library, because without it there is no studying, without books. Good morning everyone. After a quick library training, which I know will take you 10 to 15 minutes maximum, we invite you to our

faculty library. It is located in building e on the third floor. Oh, right here is the elevator. You can go straight from the elevator to our library here. We invite you. You are always welcome. Here is the bell. If the door is closed for any reason, please use it. Yes. We invite you, we invite you to

our library. This is the beautiful space. [snort] It's worth remembering that when you're at university you have to come to the library to register. You are not automatically enrolled. When you come to register, you will have the opportunity to learn about the rental rules and also submit a declaration that you are familiar with

the regulations. We will also briefly present it to you. It is important to come and register, to learn these rules, because the books you see here in the reading room are for use on site. However, everything you want to take home must be ordered through the system. Um, you can log in to the system once you have an account.

You have an account after obtaining the subscription. Part-time students are invited to register on Saturdays, yyy, two Saturdays in October. It will definitely be the 10th this first Saturday. We invite full-time students to register after the specialization meetings. I am leading you here through the library. I want to show you this space. You can work on

department computers, or you can bring your own laptops. Show us, we'll show you where you can connect. Between the shelves you will also find more places to work on computers, but as I said, you can also bring your laptops, plug into the tables here, and work in silence. We want the reading room to be a space for you where

you can study and relax from the hustle and bustle. because there are many spaces in the department where there are, where there will be many people, we are a large department. Here you will be able to come for a moment to take a break, relax, learn, and sit together. We also invite you to

Speedfending. It will be on October 15 and 16 here in the library space at 1:15 p.m. We will be there both days, so we will be leading it, that is, me and Małgorzata. There is no registration required for this event. I think we can handle it. If not, you can come and express your interest in

speedfending at another, more relaxed time. So we will come to an agreement and we wish you successful studies, lots of strength and lots of reading in our library. We cordially invite you. Thanks. Oh my God. Thank you very much girls. You have to Oh, okay. We are at step 14 in the library. The library [clears throat]

is located in building E. This is the first building from Kiliński Street. On the third floor you can take the elevator or take the stairs. We hope you find your way there without any problems. In the second, third week, the second week of October, the library will also come to you in the department space here in the

building, i.e. in the building where we will meet at the inauguration, you will be able to meet our librarians, sign up for the library, and talk about what you can do in the library. Now we move on to steps that are, let's say, optional, but very important while studying, because it really depends on you whether this study will be like, what kind of

study it will be like. If you limit your activities here at the university only to coming to classes and taking exams, of course it will be great, you will get a degree, you will get a great education and you will learn many things. However, it can be said that there will be no

shortage of elements that are very characteristic of universities, i.e., association in various organizations, developing one's passions and scientific interests in other ways, not only during classes. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the offer of scientific circles and student organizations at our faculty. I have it here in front of me and on our onboarding page

and here, in the link on the right, you can check what scientific circles we have at our faculty. What is a science club? A science club is an entity, an organization operating under the supervision of a researcher, which develops students, and students develop within a given field. these scientific circles at our faculty, and there

are over 10 of them, operate in various fields related to our studies. So we have such scientific circles as SKN financial decisions, SKN mathematical modeling, Equilibrium, SKN Forecast, Human Resources Management, SKN Investor, SKN Login related to logistics, SKN Paradygmat, SKN Progress, Real Estate, i.e. real estate, social force, social work and spaum, spatial management. Like every faculty, we also have,

outside of the scientific circles, a faculty student government council, i.e. a unit of the student government that helps, supports, and organizes students of a given faculty. By-elections to the Faculty Student Government Council will be held soon. If any of you are close to someone, perhaps you were in the student government, were the class president

, or are involved in student government, it is worth looking into such opportunities to join a student organization. Not to mention the fact that you just meet new people, right? Because these are people from different fields and from different years who simply operate within one circle. You will meet with the science clubs

during the science club week that we will organize at the end of October, so you will be able to sign up for them. And currently, you can also observe various types of recruitment campaigns on our social media, so it's worth considering. What else is worth thinking about? It is worth considering taking advantage of the

very wide range of exchanges offered by the University of Lodz, which is part of the Erasmus program. [snort] But as part of the Orasmus program, you can go for a semester to another university with which we are a partner, but you can also go for a week to another university and complete the

online component, and that is the Blended Intensive Program. Recently , the so-called Bips courses have become very popular, a mini Erasmus, one could say. Erasmus in high school looks a little different. However, these are short forms, and at our university, that is, at universities in general, it is a semester exchange. Recruitment for

next year's Erasmus will take place at the beginning of 2027, so as first-year students you cannot leave yet. However, if you are planning to go on Erasmus in the next academic year, you will have to make these decisions, or at least submit applications, at the beginning of 2027. [snort] We have a very similar program in Poland. The

Bridge program means that you can exchange, that is, go on an exchange to another university in Poland, and you complete subjects there, you come back here and they are credited to you. Of course, there is a bit of preparation beforehand, because both in the case of Erasmus and in the case of the

Most programme you need to prepare a plan for these [clear throat] subjects. However, a lot of people take advantage of it. Um, we also have something called Erasmus internships. This is definitely not for now. You will find these offers, of course, but we would like to point out that there is also the possibility of going with a

grant for an internship to another country, to an organization, or a company that you find yourself, or you can use the database, the database of such companies and institutions that the University of Lodz has. a great opportunity to practice the language, test yourself in a professional situation and take advantage of the support offered by the

Erasmus Plus programme. We will have all virtual mobilities or all exchanges, trips within the UNIK network, to which the University of Lodz belongs, we will communicate with you in all the ways we have. And what ways we have to communicate with you, I will tell you in a moment. And step 17. Scholarship offer from our

university. Scholarships are not only a reward for good results, as it may seem, but also important financial support for those who really need it. From the very beginning of your studies, you can apply for a social scholarship, for example . the award is based on the income criterion per family member and a scholarship for people with

disabilities, i.e. for people with a declaration of disability in case of need, which of course we do not wish for financial assistance in the event of, for example, a sudden loss of income or fire. You can also apply for each of these scholarships via Sym USOS web. However, scholarships for academic or sporting achievements are awarded

after completing at least one year. The exception here are the Olympians accepted in this year's recruitment. They can actually draw conclusions in a moment. There will probably be some announcement when applications will be accepted . And when it comes to these academic results, the university offers a rector's scholarship. This is a scholarship awarded

for a high average. To apply for it, you must have an average of no less than 4.0. This applies to scholarships for academic achievements as well as for sporting achievements. It's also worth putting in the effort to study, because the scholarship rates are really, really good, so it can literally be a source of extra

income. However, apart from the average grade, you can also acquire various achievements during the year, for example, getting involved in publishing articles with academic teachers. This again gives you extra points which are added together with the average. [clears throat] Well, there's another ministerial scholarship for outstanding achievements. This is a very prestigious scholarship. and

not only for the average, but also for special scientific achievements, various publications, participation in projects, and of course in cooperation with teachers who like each other, who like to engage students in various types of projects. So it's really worth taking advantage of such offers . Details about all types of these scholarships can be found on the website of

the Centre for Education and Student Affairs. You don't have to register now, everything will be available as usual on the website in the student zone, in the support and scholarships tab. And it's time for the next step. We are slowly heading towards the end. [clears throat] Here, of course, we wish you the

best of luck with your bachelor's and master's studies. However, we also want to inform you about what we offer as a university in difficult situations, in crisis situations, so that you do not have to look far for help. And I would like to invite representatives of the Support and Accessibility Center to talk about what

their center offers. Good morning once again. My name is Agnieszka Michałowska. I'm here with my friend Katarzyna Wieczorek. We are employees of the Support and Accessibility Center of the University of Lodz. Our center, as the name suggests, supports students in the teaching and studying process. Our services are available to both people who

have a disability certificate and those who do not have one but find themselves in a difficult situation or have special educational needs. I would also like to add that we, of course, do not make studying easier, but we support students in a way that preserves the learning outcomes. Our activities take both individual and group forms,

meaning support is directed directly to a specific person or a group of people. Perhaps I should also mention here the registration of a disability certificate. If you have such a document, you can send it to us by email or come to our office here. What do you need to have with you besides the

document? I think you either have already printed out the registration form from our website, because you have to register at our office. Then, once we have registered your judgment, you can complete the next steps on your own US website. You are submitting an application for support. When it comes to the groups we

support, these are candidates for studies, students and doctoral candidates, employees of the University of Lodz, and people with various disabilities and special needs. Um, maybe I'll tell you about some examples of the support our center can offer. Um, all of these forms of support are free. Let's make this clear right away. You can

use our free help from a psychologist and in special situations from a psychiatrist. In addition, you can take advantage of educational consultations. What are these consultations? Here, a consultant can help you plan your educational path, teach you time management, or how to stop procrastinating. In addition, you can take advantage of free consultations with a speech therapist, a

coach, and people involved in addiction prevention. When it comes to group forms of support, we run relaxation workshops and psychoeducational workshops. Every month we present our center's offer on our website, so it's worth checking it out and following what we have to offer each month . [clears throat] We can tell you where our office is

located. At 152 Pomorska Street. It's almost opposite the Faculty of Philology, next to student residence hall number 3. You can also call us, of course. Telephone numbers are on our website. I think that's everything in short. Thank you very much and of course you are welcome to visit our office. Thank you very much. Of course, as always, we don't

expect you to take notes. All information, all links and contact information can be found in our onboarding. This is information. The Support and Accessibility Center supports everyone, all people studying at the University of Lodz. However, we also have a support offer for you at the faculty, which Dr. Łucja Lange will tell you about.

Thank you very much for voting. I have three forms of support for you. The first of these are workshops on coping with difficult situations, which are intended to help build your resilience. Uh, I hope they will be available soon uh, for uh, all first-year students. Um, however, um, of such more individual or group meetings,

but in smaller groups, not necessarily directed, I have two suggestions for you. The first one concerns consultations in difficult situations. When you have any problems related to your life situation, you can join the online meeting. These are meetings on Mondays from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m. or also in person during the same hours in room A232

on Fridays. Such meetings are also completely free. You can participate in them if you just show up. Or you can sign up in advance by writing me an email. You can also find details here under the QR code. All dates are added there too. The second type of more individual meetings here are the so-called

teatrody. there are meetings more dedicated to people who have experienced loss and in some way feel this kind of discomfort, which, for example, may also in some way prevent you from gaining knowledge every day, coming to university, motivating yourself to get up, and so on. Um, these meetings uh in the winter semester will be held

online uh every third Wednesday of uh the month at 4:45 p.m., 6:15 p.m. And as I said, you can also find all the information on my university website. Just scan the QR code. Thank you. Thank you very much. This information is also included in onboarding and we are getting to the end. Step

19. Integrate, develop and engage. As I said, there is no good study without meeting people and without engaging in various types of university activities. So you know, you already know about the speedfending that will take place in the library. We will, of course, keep you informed about this on the website and on

social media. You already know about the walks around Eksoc, which will be led for you next week by WRSS, i.e. the Faculty Council of the Student Government. You can also take part in the welcome ceremonies at Lumumbowo. It will be an integration picnic aimed at the academic community and on October 23, you can integrate

during exocówka, an integration event for people studying at NACU. If my memory serves me right, this event will take place at a private party. Of course, it is grassroots organized by students. Um, write down these dates too. Four Speedfending events in the library, walks around Eksoc, welcome to Lumumbowo and Eksocówka. And I think that

during these four meetings you will be able to make new friends that will surely help you feel at home here . How to get information from? about what's happening at Exoc and what's happening at the university. Every week you will receive various newsletters in your university email inboxes . You will receive the

student newsletter of the University of Lodz, which will include all the attractive events dedicated to students. And every Monday you will also receive a newsletter, the so-called Exod News, which includes all events, offers, scholarships, activities, weeks with study groups, speedfriending in the library, and so on. All events that will take place at our faculty in a given month will be collected in

this newsletter. We strongly encourage you to read both of these newsletters. That's, I think, one coffee [clears throat] or half a coffee of text. So you can develop a Tuesday, I mean when it comes to our newsletter, a Tuesday habit [clears throat] to read this newsletter on Tuesday morning . Of course, we have a website at your

disposal where everything is available. Direct your steps by entering exocuni lots.pl, here is the address, to the student zone. All the information will be there for you. There's also on boarding in the main [clear throat] menu. Of course, we also have a Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube channel. We encourage you to follow the ones you have

or all of them so you are always up to date. So what? This is actually step 20. We are finishing our onboarding. I wanted you to think now about whether you have completed all 10 steps that you should take before starting your studies. So we had to set up a university account, configure a footer

and familiarize ourselves with USOS, step two, apply for a place in a dormitory, step three, sign up for PE if you are a first- cycle student. Today's onboarding meeting has almost 1,000 people ticked off their boxes. We'll see you at the inauguration on Wednesday, so that's something we'll have to tick off. You will gain student status and

confirm the oath. Student ID, class schedule, etiquette and start of studies on Friday. On behalf of everyone presenting today, I apologize for the cough. Thank you for meeting us today. The chat will be open for a while, so write if you have any questions. So what? See you at exodus. Thank you.
