In Czech Republic you officially become a student not on the day when you successfully passed all exams, but on the day of the so-called "student enrollment" (Czech zápis). On the appointed day you must come to university and enroll exactly where you wanted. Accordingly, if you successfully passed exams for 2 specialties, exactly on this day you'll have to choose one.
Before enrollment you're not considered a student, so you're not destined to use most student privileges yet. However, ÚJOP students' study confirmation is valid until the end of August, and there - you need to wait quite a short time (though not for me, but about that - later).
Before enrollment you can move into any student dormitory, however not in the role of student, but in the role of "applicant" (Czech uchazeč). Accordingly, you'll have to pay a bit more, and when you finally become a student, you'll have to sign a new contract.
I should start my story with the fact that I learned that I was accepted right on the exam day, and this was already June 4th. The head of my department violated the admission process a bit, immediately telling me the result, but this didn't upset me at all (in reality, the candidate should learn about the result only in the electronic system, somewhere in mid-July. Also, if you want to look in detail at where and how many points you got, you need to write a written request, and even then, it's not a fact that they'll consider it positively. My teachers immediately happily showed me a paper where I saw that I got 73 points. I needed to score 50, so they immediately told me that for study it would be good to learn German, and overall - "we're all very happy").
Then, in theory, you spend about a month waiting for results and now, in the system where you submitted your application, it should show whether you're accepted or not. Here, by the way, it's worth making a small remark about the oddities of the university in the city of Brno. I also got in there, without exams. But the student enrollment there was earlier than the date when I, in theory, should have learned about admission to Charles. Such an interesting thing - hurry up, better enroll with us right away, or you'll miss the moment. Well yes, of course.
Then you wait another month until the faculty website announces the enrollment day. Well here I was finally surprised - I got the date of September 24th. To make it clearer, I sat around for almost 4 months (and this isn't as fun as it might sound), and most of my acquaintances already enrolled in August, extended visas and enjoyed their new role.
Most interestingly, ÚJOP lets you live in the dormitory only until September 15th, and even then, in summer you're obliged to move from the new dorm to the old one - and this is very bad. Personally my patience ran out by the end of August, and I left for Prague to my dormitory - about it later, it's not bad.
By the way, I'll tell a fairly obvious thing that in August didn't seem obvious - how to extend at the police if you're still far from being a student? It turned out very simple - you need to bring all documents you have on hand and write a request to suspend consideration of the application until you bring everything finally.
But, first, it would be good to go to the faculty, hand in diploma nostrification and get in your hands confirmation that you were accepted to the institute (it doesn't oblige you to come enroll, just - this is a sign for police that you're not a fool).
Because my enrollment was a month and a half later than the deadline for submitting documents for extension, they suspended my application for quite a record period, as they told me at the police - 70 days. And it's already the end of October, and I haven't even submitted biometric data yet. But about that - also later.
So, after almost four months of intense sleep we finally got to enrollment. I, in principle, read blogs before this, listened to acquaintances' stories - it seemed it would be interesting. But my faculty stood out :)
So, having come on the appointed day, I saw about 100 people (20:1 girls), sitting near the doors to a large auditorium. Then everyone slowly started entering. Near the stairs on each desk lay piles of papers - you had to take one from each. Lots of papers, all uninteresting. On the last desk lay forms for filling out study confirmation - you need to take an armful, they'll come in handy.
Then, there stood an aunt with an armful of empty grade books - gave only one (you can immediately shine with Czech here, dobrý den!).
Then we sat down, and I was already ready to listen to instructive stories about what credit is - but no, they just said: fill it out, come up - and home. What and how to fill out - apparently it was clear.
In reality - you need to sign several papers. On one of them is written 2 pages of A4 text about how you're not a fool and know what to do in case of fire and so on.
Then, you need to sign a paper that you promise to study diligently and not tarnish the face of the university.
Next - an interesting paper about what language you took the state exam in and at what level (I wrote from myself, didn't even think they'd ask such a thing - I tried to ask what to write if there was nothing like that - they didn't understand me, said such a thing can't be :) Well ok, then - English at B2). Next, you need to fill out a paper with information about yourself, but everything's simple there.
Next, you need to fill out a special paper for foreigners - they supposedly make it for police, however at the police they said this is the university's personal initiative, they don't need this.
Next, you should fill out study confirmation forms. Attention - this is exactly what you'll need to bring to police, so - be careful with this. A sample can be seen above - you need to fill out everything I filled in with pen. Then you should approach the women - they'll put the necessary stamps and signatures in conveyor mode. These same confirmations need to be given to the bank, and people with pumped up skills "Czech language" + "charisma" can even get a student travel pass with them.
Next the most interesting - grade book. First, it's without a cover, you'll still need to think about this (but at CTU they gave it with a cover, should have gone there!).
Second, they didn't really say anything about it at all. For Czech students filling in several fields was easy, but I didn't want to spoil the grade book right away. Referents, by the way, were surprised how I don't know what to write in "obec" and "kraj", although we have a slightly different system of state division :) In reality - now I understand that nobody particularly cares what you write there.
You can write approximately as I did. By the way, note, they told me that foreigners don't have to write "rodné číslo" (under the photo) at all, but don't believe them - on their website one of the conditions for successful enrollment is that you request (and even better, receive) this number.
By the way, already at enrollment you can feel very needed - just take glue with you (especially gifted can already find girlfriends friends here, and lose glue, of course).
Next everyone fills the following pages with subjects - but we're special, we leave them empty. Why? Because the opportunity to enroll in subjects will open only in a couple of days, so it's unknown what you'll study there. That's how it is.
Then - we go with the whole pile of documents to the referents, and here we go. We correct all mistakes :) We get a bunch of stamps, signatures, and...And that's all.
They say goodbye to us, we go home. I didn't quite understand what to do next, but didn't despair - decided to take a booklet for "freshmen" (first-year students, Czech prvák), you can look at it at the beginning of the article. By the way, it's called "oFFšem", which is a play on words "O všem", "about everything". I thought there'd be something useful there, but there wasn't :)
Accordingly, slightly confused went to do further business - I still needed to get a student ID.
But now - hooray-hooray, here I am again at 23 - a student :)
