Part-time studies

What are the characteristics of non-residential studies?

In colloquial language, non-residential studies are called part-time studies. Their system differs significantly from that of residential studies, i.e., day studies. They take the form of so-called assemblies that usually last from Friday afternoon until Sunday. However, there are universities that do not strictly adhere to this rule. At UKSW, students of canonical law in the non-residential system have assemblies on Wednesdays and Fridays. Catholic universities limit classes on Sundays to respect the tradition of a free Sunday. The most distinctive feature of non-residential studies is that they are not funded by the state budget, and therefore the fees are borne by the students.

Do students on part-time studies have an ELS ID card?

The case is unclear. Many people wonder whether it is worth going to non-residential studies, because students are unsure whether they are entitled to a student ID and the promotion that goes with it. You can breathe a sigh of relief. At non-residential studies, the ELS ID is also required. Moreover, just as for students in the on-campus system, it is a document confirming the student status. Please note that in order to be valid, the ID must have a three-dimensional hologram with a special seal called “honey plaster”. The ELS sticker is available for purchase at the dean’s office, provided that you have passed the exams in the exam session. However, there are websites that offer the sale of holograms, but only for collectors’ purposes. Adhering them to the ID is illegal.
