Dear Partners and Friends,
Greetings from SGH Warsaw School of Economics!
We hope this email finds you & your families
in good health!
Having in mind current worldwide developments and safety and well-being of
our students and staff, SGH has decided to conduct all Fall semester
courses in exclusively online mode for both Polish and international
students.
With regard to the examination session, which depends on the assessment of
the epidemiological situation, the decision whether it will be conducted
on-site or online will be announced by December 31, 2020. However, during the
very first class lecturers are obliged to present examination methods to be
conducted in one and another case. Please be assured that our online teaching
tools, successfully tested during the last semester, are hugely developed, and
are constantly improving. We can assure you that your students will be able to
undertake high-quality on-line education as well as valuable virtual engagement
and academic and social interactions with the rest of SGH academic community.
Also, consultations/appointments for students are conducted by lecturers
online once a week. As informed before, Orientation Week, which starts on
the 23rd of September, will be conducted online as well.
Students will receive a detailed schedule at the beginning of September.
In
addition, we would like to inform you about the current
epidemic situation:
After lifting most of the restrictions, we are obliged to keep distance
(1.5-2 m) and covering our mouth and nose with a mask or any kind of fabric
(e.g. scarf) when entering buildings, shops, means of transportation, etc. We also
have to use disinfectant liquids to clean hands on entry. Outdoors, we are just obliged to keep distance, but we don’t have to use masks. All shops
and restaurants are open (with limits on the number of guests), sports and
cultural events (with certain limitations) are also organised. The
self-quarantine, after arrival into Poland, is not mandatory as well.
However,
due to the recent rise in infections both in Poland and globally, and the
expected rise in seasonal infections of flu-like diseases in Fall and
Winter, some of the restrictions (including quarantine) might be reintroduced
locally or nationwide. We will keep you informed about changes in the
regulations once they are announced.

Importantly, if you have students who have
already resigned, but would like to rejoin us for an online mode, they’re more
than welcome –please just drop us an email.
Should you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact SGH
International Centre (incoming@sgh.waw.pl).
