board at "SCANMED MEDICAL CENTER KRAKÓW" located in Krakow, ul. Armii Krajowej 5. The certificate should be submitted at the Physical Education Centre during the first month of a given semester. The medical board, upon the student's examination and analysis of their medical record, decides to:
- exempt the student from physical education classes on a permanent basis – entry in the student's protocol: ZWOLNIONA(-Y) (EXEMPT)
- exempt the student from physical education classes on a temporary basis – THE MEDICAL BOARD'S DECISION MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO APPLY TO THE DEAN FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATION OF STUDIES, WHERE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE NEXT SEMESTER OR ACADEMIC YEAR
- refer the student to PE classes involving less intense activities (table tennis). /see AFMKU Rector's Regulation/
14. Exceptional situations regarding obtaining credits for a semester or academic year are investigated by the Head of the Physical Education Centre.

Students attending physical education classes should bring their valid AFMKU student ID cards to show to class instructors and sports facilities employees at their request in order to ensure safety and prevent the entry of unwelcome persons.
