Entry into the building

The entrance door into the faculty building is equipped with an electronic lock. This door tends to be locked whilst the guards are not present at their station when on night-time and weekend inspection patrols. You can open this lock by placing a valid Charles University student ID card on the card reader device. This card reader is located on the pillar to the left of the door (a small white box with a blue diode). To leave the building, place your student ID card on the card reader located on the wall to the right of the guardhouse. If everything is in order, a green diode will flash shortly after you place your student ID card on the card reader, the reader will emit a short beep and the door will then open.

If the reader flashes red and emits a long whistle sound, your card is not registered in the electronic system controlling the lock. Should this occur, contact an officer of the Computer Centre. If the reader does not respond to your card – i.e. the blue diode remains on, the chip inside your card is probably damaged and you need to contact the Card Issuing Centre (for information go to http://www.cuni.cz/UK-2763.html to arrange for a card replacement.

Computer services centre

CENTRAL AUTHENTICATION SERVICE – CAS

The CAS – Central Authentication Service is employed to provide secure and unified access to most of the university as well as faculty information systems. More detailed information and an overview of the systems employed by the CAS can be found at https://ldap.cuni.cz/

The following are required for the successful completion of the first set-up and activation of the CAS

· Charles University student ID card. The Issuing Centre shall, together with the personal handover of a Charles University student ID card, also give you a printed, automatically generated password for access to the CAS, which is only valid for 10 days.

· Set up your password – at https://ldap.cuni.cz/ you must change the automatically generated password to a password of your choice within 10 days of the card's issue. If you fail to change the password by this deadline, the automatically generated password shall be set up at the Issuing Centre or by the CAS administrator at the Third Faculty of Medicine (room No. 535). Such a password is referred to as a VERIFIED password and can be used for any system (except EDUROAM access).

Attention – If you click on the link Obtain a new password, as I do not have a password or have lost/forgotten the original password on the website https://ldap.cuni.cz/en/info.php you will generate a so-called WEAK (UNVERIFIED) password, which does not work in all the systems. You can log in to systems employing the CAS by entering the number below the photograph and the password that you set up.

Study information system (SIS)

https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/login.php

The role of the Study Information System (SIS) is to record your study obligations, your study history, personal information, to record subjects enrolled in, teachers, etc. Information is entered into the SIS by the study department (your study plans, study history, personal details, etc.), with the successful completion of examinations or entry of credits or examination dates and times being recorded into the SIS by the relevant teaching staff. Students can make use of the interactive functions offered by the SIS (e.g. registering for an examination or their diploma topic) or may correct their personal details. The SIS is used by the study department as a communication channel. It is also possible for the SIS to be used as a means of mutual communication by and between the teaching staff or students.

The SIS is made up of public or non-public applications, which are classified by themes, but together form a solid unit within which data is mutually intertwined and supported. It is necessary to be logged in via the CAS in order to fully utilise and have access to all the operational applications of the SIS.

At this time, only part of the whole SIS is being used at the faculty (but we expect that this system will be further added to in the future). The following applications may be of interest to you:

Personal details

This application allows you to peruse your personal details, to make changes to them and, if need be, to set up which details may or may not be made public.

Examination dates and times – registration

Now, most of the workplaces announce examination dates and times in the SIS. You can register for these dates and times via this application.

Viewing examination results

This application facilitates better orientation in the student obligations that have and have not been met. Most workplaces shall record the result into this application immediately after holding an examination or entry of credit.

Subjects

This application allows you to search for subjects being taught (according to various criteria) and to display information about this subject – teacher's name, guaranteeing workplace, number of hours in the summer and winter semesters, examinations, the conditions for completing the subject, annotation, the curriculum, recommended literature, etc.

Database Vyuka

http://vyuka.lf3.cuni.cz

The primary source of information about lectures, seminars practicals is the database Vyuka („Teaching„), which resides at http://vyuka.lf3.cuni.cz. You will be able to find detailed descriptions of every teaching unit including recommended literature, electronic presentations or video and audio recordings. You can also use it to ask your teachers questions about topics discussed at a lecture or seminar and you can rate the quality of the lesson including detailed comments about areas for improvement. Your feedback is very important for us.

In order to access the database you will need your CAS login credentials – the number of your university ID and your password. The database is then structured in the same way as your studies. The main signposts are your study year and subject (module, course). First make sure you've selected the correct language version (there's a flag – Czech or British – at the upper left hand corner) and then filter the records based on your search criteria. By clicking the „Save“ button you submit your filter and selected record will appear below it. The left hand column shows the subjects and the right hand column contains all the relevant teaching units in the selected subject. Details of a record will expand if you click on the light bulb icon before its title.

Faculty's website

http://www.lf3.cuni.cz

The faculty's official website is at http://www.lf3.cuni.cz. It contains main important and necessary information divided according to subject areas – see the upper menu bar of the navigation.

Some information and materials may only be available to users who have logged in. You can log in to the web (the „Log in“ link at the top part of the page) using the same name and password as you use to log in to the CAS.

Printing services - Printing and copying

An Kyocera multifunctional device is available for the students' needs between Syllaba and Burian hall and is linked to the MyQ printing system. This device allows for printing and copying.

The system is currently in the implementation phase.
