Information

In accordance with Article 94, Section 4a of the Act of July 27, 2005 – Law on Higher Education, the University has received funding to support activities ensuring that students with disabilities have full access to the educational process.

The University may cover, among other things, the costs of purchasing or producing fixed assets (not classified as initial equipment) with an initial value below PLN 3,500, as well as the cost of purchasing intangible assets below the same threshold.
It should be emphasized that, in accordance with the purpose of the grant (i.e., support for the University), the purchase or production of such assets applies exclusively to items that remain the property of the University and are not intended for the exclusive use of a single person. These items must be suitable for further use by other students with similar disabilities.
