Welcome Week
Welcome Week
Your arrival is getting closer, and we can't wait to see you in Prague!
After your arrival, you need to register with your faculty to attend Charles University. These registrations are obligatory. Each faculty has its registration day and time, so pay attention to the emails sent to you by the coordinators of your faculty, and always make sure to double-check your own faculty's schedule. The registrations are organized by the university workers (faculty coordinators) from the international offices of individual faculties.
