Physical education and sport

SGH conducts physical education (PE) classes for all students, offering a wide range of activities in many sports disciplines. In addition to compulsory physical education classes, we also invite students to participate in optional classes, e.g. recreation and sports activities, under the supervision of qualified teaching staff.

Students and employees are also invited to participate in more advanced forms of sports in the sports sections of the University Club of the University Sports Association at SGH (KU AZS SGH).

Our offer encompasses a variety of disciplines: aerobics, athletics, basketball, bicycle trips, bodybuilding, dancesport, football, functional training, handball, karatedo, kayaking, Nordic walking, pilates, sailing, skiing, snowboarding, strength athletics, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.

For full-time undergraduate students, two semesters of physical education are compulsory and should be completed in the first and the second semester of studies.

Credit for physical education classes

Physical education classes at the SGH Warsaw School of Economics can be completed by fulfilling at least one of the following conditions:

Enrolling in, attending, and actively participating in physical education classes conducted by CWFiS (Physical Education and Sport Unit) staff (the classes conclude with a pass).
Transferring a grade from physical education classes completed at another university at the same level of study, according to the procedure provided by the dean’s office of the relevant program.
Presenting a certificate from the relevant Polish Sports Association confirming possession of at least a valid second-class sports qualification.
Active participation in training sessions of the sports section of the AZS SGH (Academic Sports Club) and representing the University in sports competitions.
Participation in the SGH Song and Dance Ensemble.
Participation in the SGH Choir.
Participation in one of the paid sports camps conducted by CWFiS (Physical Education and Sport Unit) staff – such camps are organized only if a sufficient number of participants register.

The basic requirement for passing physical education classes is attendance as well as active and systematic participation, confirmed by tests during the semester, whereby:

The absence rate above which the subject cannot be passed is 35%.
Justifications for absences are regulated by the Dean’s instructions of the relevant program.
Attendance and active participation in at least 10 classes in which the student is enrolled are required.
All excused absences must be made up during classes with the same instructor, in the group indicated by the instructor within the same sport discipline, or by participating in sports events approved by the Head of CWFiS (Physical Education and Sport Unit).
Absences cannot be made up during the last two weeks of the semester.
Absences cannot be made up if the group has already reached the maximum capacity allowed by regulations.
Active participation in appropriate sports attire suitable for the enrolled classes is required – lack of activity or inappropriate attire is treated as an absence that requires justification.
During classes, students must follow the rules of the facility where the classes are held and comply with the instructor’s directions.
The details of course completion, including the form and frequency of tests, are independently determined by the instructor.
Participants in sports sections are required to obtain an AZS membership card (which includes, among other things, accident insurance).
In exceptional cases, by decision of the Head of CWFiS (Physical Education and Sport Unit), the conditions for passing physical education classes may be adjusted to the individual situation of a student (this applies in particular to students with officially certified disabilities).
In medically justified cases, it is possible to temporarily or permanently transfer to other physical education classes, particularly rehabilitation classes. Transfers between groups require the consent of both instructors and are carried out at the
student’s request

There is no possibility of exemption from completing physical education classes.

Transferring your grade

You can get a credit in physical education by transferring your grades from another university. In order to do this, just follow the instructions obtained from the Dean of Undergraduate Studies or the Dean of Graduate Studies regarding the transfer of your grades.

You can only apply for a transfer of your grade for courses taken as part of a relevant degree programme. If a course you took at another university was completed with a plain credit (pass) rather than a grade, you will get a ‘3’ (satisfactory) at SGH.

Postponing the completion of classes to another semester

According to the study rules and regulations, it is not possible to postpone the completion of compulsory physical education classes to another semester. However, if you receive a failing grade, you can apply for a conditional credit in this subject. You can then choose any physical education class from the available selection in the following semester.

Enrolment in classes

Instructions for registering for physical education classes in the USOS system (pdf, 346.79 KB)

Physical education classes are available to students of all types and fields of study. In the first round, students who have obligatory PE classes in that particular semester must submit a declaration, stating which classes they choose. In the second round, all students can take part and submit a PE declaration for the semester.

The registration takes place via USOS system.

USOSweb

You can select a new class or change your previous selection by choosing the following menu command: Adding new courses on the basis of the study timetable (Wpisywanie nowych przedmiotów na podstawie harmonogramu zajęć). During a particular semester, you can choose no more than the following in the first round of PE declarations:

one class (group) within an AZS sports section (for credit or optional – you declare your choice during the first class),
one class (group) within the remaining subjects (for credit or optional – you declare your choice during the first class).

Classes in AZS sports sections are offered to students who wish to participate in sports competitions. Sections devoted to team sports have limits of participants, and the choice is made by the coach of each section. If you do not manage to get into the section of your choice, you can sign up for other physical education classes either in the next round of declarations or directly at the Physical Education and Sports secretary’s office (if there are any vacancies). If you sign up for an AZS section, you can also choose other classes in the first declaration round, but you can cancel them at the beginning of the semester once you have been accepted into the AZS section of your choice.

Each class offered outside the AZS sections has a maximum number of students allowed to participate. Limits and current vacancies in groups are specified next to each class. Unlike in AZS sports sections, these classes are filled on the first come, first serve basis.

In the second round of declarations, all students can choose from classes which still have vacancies. In this case, there is no limit on the number of classes you can take.

To make a selection, you need to:

select the number assigned to a particular class from the drop-down list,
select the check box next to your selected class,
press (Zatwierdź) (Validate) at the bottom of the form.

To change your selection:

deselect a previously selected checkbox,
select a new class.

Information on the choices you made for physical education is displayed under the relevant menu item Wyświetlanie zawartości deklaracji (Display your declaration) , while the full history of your selections is displayed in menu item Historia (History) of subject selection.
