Appendix 1 to the order of the rector dated December 3, 2012 No. 1710/p
The procedure for transferring to an individual training plan

and on an individual training schedule

at the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Altai State University"
1. General Provisions
1.1. Training according to an individual curriculum and individual study schedule allows University students to:

The right to study in shortened and accelerated educational programs;

The right to parallel study in two or more educational programs;

The right to combine studies with scientific, labor, sports, and creative activities;

The right to academic mobility;

The right to freely attend classes (or reschedule classes) for health or family reasons.
1.2. This Regulation has been developed in accordance with Art. 24 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On Education”, Art. 11 of the Federal Law “On Higher and Postgraduate Professional Education”, “Model Regulations on an Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education (Higher Education Institution)”, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 14, 2008. No. 71, “Conditions for mastering basic educational programs of higher professional education in a shortened period of time,” approved by Order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2002 No. 1725, federal state educational standards of higher professional education, and the Charter of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education “Altai State University”.
2. The procedure for transferring to an individual curriculum (schedule) of training
2.1. An individual curriculum in the area of ​​training (specialty) and an individual training schedule in the area of ​​training (specialty) are developed in full accordance with the current State Standards or Federal State Educational Standards in terms of requirements for the minimum content and level of training of graduates in the areas of training (specialties), taking into account the level of previous training and students' abilities.

2.2. Individual curriculum creates conditions for the implementation of differentiated approaches in preparing a student in his chosen specialty or field of study, based on his level of education and abilities. At the same time, in an individual plan, changes can be made in the structural parts of the main curriculum, subject to the requirements of the State Standards or Federal State Educational Standards.

2.3. An individual training schedule creates conditions for learning parts the main educational program in different terms compared to the terms provided for by the main curriculum, due to the redistribution of time and teaching load.

2.4. The following can be transferred to an individual training plan (schedule):

• 
  students admitted to study under shortened educational programs (on the basis of secondary vocational education or higher education);
• 
  students accepted for full-term study and transferred after certification to an accelerated basic educational program;
• 
  students transferred from another university or enrolled on the basis of an academic certificate, if there is a difference in the main educational programs;
• 
  students expelled from the University and reinstated to continue their studies at the University, if there is a difference in the main educational programs;

• 
  students accepted for parallel studies in two main educational programs;
• 
  students moving from one main educational program to another;
• 
  students transferred from full-time to part-time (full-time) or vice versa;
• 
  students who have expressed a desire to simultaneously obtain additional qualifications;
• 
  students on internship (studying abroad, studying in accordance with the University’s agreements with other institutions);
• 
  students who have studied with excellent marks, as a rule, during the last two semesters and have shown an inclination for scientific work or social and political activities, the further development of which requires independent distribution of study time;
• 
  students studying with “good” and “excellent” grades and combining their studies at the University with work activities that coincide or are close to their chosen specialty (with the provision of a certificate from their place of work);
• 
  student-athletes performing as part of national teams, participating in long-term training camps in preparation for competitions, whose schedules of sports training and performances coincide with the schedule of the educational process (as recommended by the Department of Physical Education or the University Sports Club);
• 
  members of creative groups whose rehearsal and performance schedules coincide with the schedule of the educational process (as recommended by the VVR Council);
• 
  students who are forced, for health reasons or family reasons, to temporarily interrupt their attendance at classes (treatment in a day hospital, caring for a seriously ill family member, etc.) (as recommended by the dean (director) of the relevant faculty (institute, branch) upon provision of the appropriate certificate);
• 
  students with children under three years of age (upon providing the appropriate certificate);
• 
  other (as recommended by the dean (director) of the faculty (institute, branch), approved by the first vice-rector for academic affairs).

2.5. The issue of transferring a student to an individual plan (or schedule) of study is considered upon the student’s application within the first two weeks from the beginning of the semester with the submission of supporting documents and petitions to the dean’s office of the faculty (institute, branch) (Appendix 1).

The decision on the possibility or impossibility of training a student according to an individual training plan (or schedule, or according to a plan and schedule at the same time) is made by the certification commission of the faculty (institute, branch) and is documented in a protocol.

2.6. The transfer of a student (students) to study according to an individual curriculum is formalized by an order from the University (Appendix 3).

The transfer of a student (students) to study according to an individual academic schedule is formalized by order of the faculty (institute, branch).

2.7. To provide scientific and methodological assistance to a student transferred to an individual curriculum, by decision of the graduating department, a scientific supervisor may be appointed with the inclusion of the corresponding workload in the educational assignment.

2.8. An individual training schedule frees the student from the need to attend scheduled classes and allows him to fulfill the program requirements of the disciplines within an individually established time frame, provided that he completes laboratory and test work provided for by the curriculum, but does not exempt him from completing course projects (works) and completing educational and industrial practice.

2.9. Control over the implementation of the student’s individual training schedule is carried out by the dean (director) or deputy dean (director) of the faculty (institute, branch). Based on the results of completing the individual training schedule, the dean (director) makes a decision on the possibility of extending it for the next academic year (semester).

2.10. When completing an individual plan (schedule) for studying the corresponding course, the student is transferred to the next course .

2.11. If a student fails to complete the individual curriculum, he is transferred by order of the university (Appendix 4) to study according to the main curriculum of the field of study (specialty) with a period of study in accordance with the State Standards or Federal State Educational Standards.

In case of failure to comply with the individual training schedule, the student, by order of the faculty (institute, branch), is transferred to the current schedule of the educational process of the corresponding field of study (specialty).

2.12. Students studying at the expense of the federal budget and transferred to an individual curriculum or individual training schedule are awarded a scholarship based on the results of the semester implementation of the individual curriculum and/or individual training schedule in accordance with the Regulations on scholarships and other forms of material support for students, graduate students and doctoral students of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Altai State University".

2.13. For students simultaneously studying in two or more basic educational programs, it is permissible to study in only one educational program at the expense of the federal budget, and for the rest - with full reimbursement of the costs of training as a student.
3. Design, structure and form of the individual curriculum (graphics)
3.1. An individual curriculum is developed for an individual student or group of students based on the curriculum of the relevant field (specialty) in full compliance with the current State Standards or Federal State Educational Standards.

The individual curriculum is approved by the Academic Council of the faculty (institute, branch).

An individual curriculum for individual training of a student (or several students) implements the educational program without changing the full duration of study, with the exception of training a student (or several students) under a shortened or accelerated educational program.

Individualization of training is carried out by adjusting the nomenclature and redistributing the volume in hours of disciplines of specialization and electives, as well as disciplines of the regional (university) component (optional part) and disciplines of the student’s choice (within the volume of hours of the corresponding cycles of disciplines).

It is allowed to change the plan of the educational process (semester, reporting, types and volume of classroom activities) in the individual curriculum.

In exceptional cases (due to health reasons, family circumstances, etc.), the duration of study according to individual curricula can be increased to one year compared to the standard period of study.

3.2. In the case of a student (or several students) studying under a shortened or accelerated educational program, the terms of study according to individual curricula can be reduced without changing the educational program of study and the requirements for specialists of the appropriate level and qualifications in accordance with the “Conditions for the development of basic educational programs of higher professional education in a shortened time frame”, approved by order of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation dated May 13, 2002 No. 1725.

Reducing training time is achieved through:

– increasing the share of independent work when studying individual disciplines;

– re-crediting subjects of any cycle studied by the student at the previous stage of professional education.

The transfer is carried out according to a state-issued document on higher professional education based on the decision of the certification commission in accordance with the “Regulations on the certification commissions of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education “Altai State University” and Methodically our recommendations on the procedure for transferring disciplines studied at the previous stage of higher professional education to Altai State University students.

3 .3. For students accepted for training in abbreviated educational programs on the basis of higher professional education, and students accepted for parallel training in two main educational programs of higher professional education, the organization of the educational process is carried out in accordance with the “Methodological recommendations for the design of training at Altai State University in an abbreviated program in specially formed groups of persons with higher professional education and Altai State University students enrolled in parallel studies.”

3.4. The registration of an individual curriculum is carried out in accordance with the requirements for the design of the main current curriculum, with the exception of the title page, which notes the approval by the Academic Council of the faculty (institute, branch) and records: “Individual curriculum of a student of ___ group (or group of students No. ___ ) in the area of ​​training (specialty ________".

3.5. An individual study schedule is usually drawn up for an academic semester or year (two semesters) (Appendix 2).

3.6. The individual training schedule is approved by the dean (director).

After approval of the individual training schedule, the dean (director) issues an order to the faculty (institute, branch) to transfer the student to an individual training schedule for a period of one academic year (semester).

3.7. An individual training schedule regulates the procedure for mastering all forms of academic work provided for by the main curriculum for a selected period (semester, academic year). At the same time, in a semester, academic work provided for more than two semesters of the main curriculum cannot be mastered, and in an academic year (two semesters), according to the academic load of more than four semesters of the main curriculum. When passing the academic difference, it is possible to draw up an individual study schedule that combines academic work from different semesters and courses of study.

3.8. A student studying according to an individual educational schedule, during intermediate certification, takes no more than 20 exams and 24 tests during the academic year.

3.9. The individual study schedule is drawn up in two copies, one of which is kept in the dean’s office, the other is issued to the student. The dean's office of the faculty (institute, branch) keeps a log of individual study schedules, in which the full name is recorded. student, course, group, period during which he studies according to an individual educational schedule. The serial number in the journal is the number of the individual educational schedule.

All students study according to a plan that allows them to gradually acquire new knowledge and distribute it evenly in their heads.

To make it clearer, I’ll explain with a simple example: before solving complex examples, a student must learn the multiplication table; otherwise, more comprehensive information will simply be inaccessible to his understanding.

That is why in the curriculum the first thing on the agenda is the multiplication table, and only then solving complex examples.

A similar situation exists in secondary specialized and higher educational institutions, only students are so busy studying that they simply do not attach any importance to it.

In general, this is correct, since the curriculum is, rather, a guide to action for teachers and teachers, and it does not concern schoolchildren and students.

However, this does not mean that you can ignore the question of what a curriculum is, because for the general development and expansion of your own horizons, this information will certainly not be superfluous.

What is a curriculum and its features

Curriculum is a certified document that provides a training plan for students in a particular specialty.

It is not only drawn up on paper in a strictly specified form, but also contains a sufficient number of signatures and even the wet seal of the educational institution, less often the Ministry of Education.

This once again proves the importance of this document, which must be agreed upon with the top management of the university and the dean’s office of a particular specialty.

The curriculum is a structured document and consists of three mandatory parts:

Training schedule;

List of items;

Number of hours.

Training schedule- this is the main component of the document, since it provides a schedule of tests, exams, educational and work practice, and intermediate certification. Accordingly, this also includes coursework and diploma papers, course projects and laboratory workshops.

List of items- also an important part of the curriculum, since it includes a list of all disciplines that will be studied by students during a particular session. In addition, elective classes and sports and cultural events are mandatory. Also, do not forget about the Olympiads, which are necessarily held by every university.

Number of hours- This is, rather, a conditional component of the curriculum, which provides detailed information about the number of hours on a particular topic or subject. The duration of each period is described in total and separately, and there are also prescribed hours for homework, theoretical lectures, independent and practical assignments, and laboratory classes.

All these components of the curriculum are mandatory, and without their detailed description, a confirmatory signature, and, moreover, a wet seal, is definitely not possible.

Moreover, each specialty has its own unique plan, which will be different for part-time, full-time and evening students.

If you still didn't know there was a curriculum, now is the time to open your eyes.

If you are wondering what kind of document this is, and whether the teacher complies with its strictly approved framework, then you can make a specific request to contact the dean’s office or your department, where they will be able to carefully review this important student document without any problems.

Any questions that arise can be safely addressed to the teacher, but again, do not forget that you still have to take an exam in this subject.

Why do students need a curriculum?

Many students study and don't care much about what the curriculum is. However, there are periods when the load increases so much that the student can no longer cope with all the tasks, noticeably “sliding down” in academic performance.
This is where panic begins, and the desire to personally familiarize yourself with the curriculum becomes more and more acute.

Here it is important to clearly understand that the curriculum is a document equivalent to the Charter of the university, therefore, in the event of obvious violations on the part of the teacher, proceedings from above may follow.

It is possible that they will be in your favor, and then your reputation as an exemplary student can be immediately restored.

Such knowledge is also necessary when a teacher treats the lecture and practical components of his direct obligations superficially, but then demands it in full during the exam.

As a rule, lazy teachers love the phrase “self-paced learning.” Indeed, such a term is provided for in the curriculum, but it is designed only for individual topics, and not for a full course of lectures.

The rector's office will not praise the teacher for identifying such a discrepancy; in addition, penalties may follow, for example, in the form of deprivation of a bonus.

So you should not ignore such important information as the curriculum, since this document, first of all, represents the interests of the student, so that he will soon earn the proud and honorable title of “young specialist”.

Personally, my advice goes something like this: the next semester has begun, don’t be lazy, go to the dean’s office and read the curriculum, at least for general development, and then... you never know where this useful information will come in handy.

Educational reforms

Ten years ago, curricula were drawn up annually, and they included a lot of innovative ideas from teachers, but today teachers prefer to follow the well-trodden path.

What does it mean?

Previously, drawing up a curriculum was a real debate, as a result of which the truth was born. Teachers argued about which subject should be introduced into the curriculum and when, how many hours per semester to devote to it, and how to certify students.

The main goal was to provide students of universities and secondary specialized educational institutions with maximum knowledge, which in the future will definitely be useful in production and practice.

Today everything has changed, and teachers prefer to simply update the old curriculum and then bring it to the rector’s office for signature.

There are no fresh ideas, no drive, and the modern education system has become somewhat boring and mundane.

On the one hand, stability has never harmed anyone, but on the other, why not experiment, as it was before?

In defense of traditional curricula, it is worth saying that, thanks to them, more than one highly qualified specialist has appeared in production and other areas.

Types of curriculum

We have already figured out what a curriculum is; why it is needed in all educational institutions - also. Now let's try to find out what kind of curriculum there are and how they differ in practice.

So, there is the following classification.

Model curriculum is considered the main document that guarantees the state component of a certain educational and professional program. It establishes at the state level the minimum volumes of training hours and cycles (blocks), a list of compulsory subjects, the qualifications of the graduating specialist, and any additions. Simply put, the Ministry of Education has set schooling for 10 years, which means no one will change this at the non-state level.

Working curriculum- This is a standard curriculum with adjustments from a specific university. That is, a higher educational institution takes as a basis the main document established and approved by the Ministry of Education, and then makes amendments to it, in accordance with the current education system within its walls. All changes are confirmed by documents, in particular, the University Charter.

For example, students are required to read a certain amount of information per year - this is a standard plan. In the first semester, make fewer pairs in the specialty, and in the second, by decision of the dean, on the contrary, increase the number of hours - this is already a working plan. As a result, the plan was implemented, but how is a matter for the university.

All existing requirements for the level of training of graduates are mostly determined by the mandatory minimum content of educational and professional programs, and it is important not to forget about this when drawing up the annual curriculum.

What should every student remember?

To avoid clashes with teachers and not create conflict situations, it is important to know the following information, which, in fact, is a statement of fact and will not be superfluous for every student:

1. A curriculum is required in any educational institution, be it a school, college, college or university.

2. The curriculum is approved by the management of the educational institution, and is based on the regulations and instructions of the Ministry of Education.

3. The curriculum for different specialties is different.

4. The curriculum for full-time, evening and correspondence students also differs in structure.

5. The curriculum provides the maximum information that every student should comprehend.

6. The curriculum is stored in the dean’s office of the faculty, and every student who wishes can personally familiarize himself with its contents.

7. The curriculum allows you to resolve a number of conflict situations.

8. The curriculum is re-approved every academic year (in August).

9. The curriculum cannot be challenged, but adjustments can be made to it.

10. The curriculum is an official document.

Conclusion: So now you should understand the seriousness and significance of this document, but all other issues in terms of drawing up a curriculum are best left to competent teachers and the dean’s office. They will certainly never wish bad things on their own students.

Now you know about what is a university curriculum?.

Training according to an individual curriculum with a shorter training period

In accordance with the regulatory documents of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, they can take advantage of the right to study according to an individual curriculum with a reduction in the period of study the following persons:

• those with higher education in any field of training (specialty) - the estimated duration of study is 4 - 4.5 years;
• graduates of colleges or technical schools who have received a specialized specialization in secondary vocational education for the chosen profile at the University (for example, a college diploma in the specialty “Construction and operation of buildings and structures” is considered core in relation to the program mastered at the University in the profile “Industrial and civil construction”) - duration of study 4.5 years;
• previously studied at a higher educational institution and have a certificate of study or academic certificate - the duration of study depends on the extent of overlap of disciplines.

General rules:

1. All applicants, regardless of previous education, are enrolled based on the results of a competitive selection in the chosen field of study for the first year of the full training program, see the admission rules. Reducing the duration of study is possible only by re-crediting or re-certifying the studied disciplines in a previous educational institution, on the basis of which an individual curriculum for the student is drawn up.
2. see Regulations of the National Research University MGSU on the procedure for organizing training according to individual curricula, see Regulations of the National Research University MGSU on the procedure for organizing training and implementing educational programs of higher education according to individual curricula in an accelerated time frame.
3. Only those disciplines that were studied in an educational organization of higher education are re-credited, provided that they have similar names, the same complexity of mastering (not less) and the form of certification in relation to the curriculum of the National Research University MGSU. Diplomas of higher education or certificates of study at a university/academic certificates are taken into account without limitation of how long ago they were received, but subject to state accreditation of the university.
4. If a discipline has a difference in name, form of certification (test/exam/differentiated test) or less labor intensity (number of hours of study), it can be re-certified by decision of the certification commission of the relevant department. Re-certification of disciplines is carried out by the certification commission of the relevant department in the personal presence of the student during the first semester of study according to the schedule (usually the month of November). During recertification, the commission surveys the student in the discipline and makes a decision on whether the student has or does not have knowledge and competencies corresponding to the University program. For persons living in remote regions of the Russian Federation, the recertification procedure can be carried out using telecommunication technologies, subject to the identification of the person being certified.
5. If desired, any of the disciplines that fall under the category of “retest” or “recertification” can be studied again by the student.
6. The results of re-testing and re-certification are included in the student’s individual curriculum. The individual curriculum is agreed upon with the student, after which an additional agreement is drawn up to the agreement on paid educational services, which determines the new term of study and changes in tuition fees according to the IEP, calculated in accordance with the order. The cost of training is determined for each academic semester separately, depending on the actual labor intensity, without taking into account re-credited or re-certified disciplines. That is, the total cost of training is reduced by the volume of re-credited or re-certified disciplines.
7. Transfer to training according to an individual curriculum is made during the first semester of study after completion of the recertification procedure.

For reference, using the example of the direction of training “Construction”, the profile “Industrial and Civil Construction” are given:

• an approximate list of disciplines that a college graduate who has received a secondary vocational education diploma in the specialty “Construction and operation of buildings and structures” can apply for recertification;

At school, as at a university, the entire educational process must be confirmed by certain documents. In this article I would like to talk about one of them. We'll talk about what it is

Definition of the concept

First of all, you need to decide on the concepts that will be used in this article. The main one is the curriculum. It must be said that His goal is to determine the number of subjects, as well as the hours allocated for their study. Also, the curriculum will specify the arrangement of hours by week, the breakdown of these hours into various types of classes (for universities): lectures, seminars, laboratory work. An important point: the curriculum is drawn up and approved by the Ministry of Education.

Filling

So, it is also worth considering in more detail what the curriculum is filled with.

1. This document determines the length of time (year, semester) allocated for studying this subject. Vacation days are also prescribed.
2. The plan contains a complete list of subjects that will be taught to students.
3. Each subject will have its own breakdown into hours (their total number; hours allocated for lectures, seminars, laboratory work).
4. Official aspects: name of the course, indication of specialty codes, signatures of officials certifying the document.

Nuances

It is worth remembering that the curriculum is drawn up once every 5 years. It requires changes only if adjustments have been made either by the Ministry of Education or by the department itself. Every year a working curriculum should be drawn up, which will provide more detailed information about a particular subject.

It is worth saying that all curricula and programs must be drawn up in accordance with the principles prescribed by the Ministry of Education. So, when compiling them, you need to adhere to the following points:

1. The curriculum must be drawn up in accordance with the following documents: State Educational Standards for Higher Professional Education and educational standards, which are official documents).
2. All disciplines of specialties should not exceed the volume that was regulated by the educational standard.
3. All individual student work - laboratory, coursework, graphic work, abstracts, as well as certification issues (exams or tests) - are included in the total hours allocated for studying a particular subject.
4. The educational institution may change some aspects at its discretion. However, federal disciplines always remain the same. For example, the number of hours allocated to physical education is constant.

Peculiarities

When drawing up a curriculum (2014-2015) for universities, it is worth remembering that the number of disciplines that a student must pass during the year should not exceed 10 exams and 12 tests. You should also take into account that the department can change some points at its discretion:

1. Regulate the amount of hours allocated to studying a particular subject (necessarily within 5-10%).
2. Independently formulate plan cycles, while leaving the cycle of normative disciplines partially untouched (this will include history, philosophy and other compulsory subjects intended for study by all students, regardless of specialty).
3. Each teacher can draw up original programs for the disciplines he teaches, while recommending a certain number of hours for their study (the department must take these recommendations into account).
4. The division of hours into the study of a particular subject from a cycle of disciplines specialized for a particular department occurs at the discretion of the department administration, but must be in sufficient quantity to fully study the subject.

Individual plan

Another very important document is the individual curriculum. It is compiled for a specific student who is trained according to a special, individual system. For schoolchildren this is possible due to illness, but a student can either work or be on maternity leave.

Principles

It is worth saying that an individual curriculum must necessarily implement the following principles:

1. It is compiled on the basis of a general education program, which the student must necessarily complete.
2. In the individual curriculum, changes relative to the curriculum are allowed, but within 5-10%.
3. It is possible to make changes to the plan only in the third section (disciplines in the specialty); changes are not possible regarding standard disciplines.

Both regular and individual are sealed with a set of signatures and always a wet seal. Only in this case the curriculum is considered an official document according to which it is possible to conduct

Basic curriculum

It is also worth saying that the work plan for the academic year should be drawn up not only for students of higher educational institutions, but also for schoolchildren. So, it is worth understanding such a concept as a basic curriculum. This document is also being developed on the basis of the federal standard. Here is an annual distribution of hours for studying all school subjects. Features: it is worth remembering that the federal basic plan for primary school students (grades 1-4) is drawn up for 4 years of study, for students in grades 5-11 - for five years.

Distribution of federal plan components

It should be said that the school curriculum must be distributed according to certain rules. Thus, the federal component will contain approximately 75% of all subjects, the regional component - necessarily at least 10%, and the educational institution component - also at least 10%.

1. Federal component. It contains all the disciplines required for schoolchildren to study, prescribed by the Ministry of Education.
2. Regional (or national-regional) component. This section may study subjects that are important for a particular region, but not for schoolchildren throughout the country. Example: the native language of certain nationalities.
3. The educational component may deepen the study of certain subjects. Example: a school with in-depth study of foreign languages ​​gives an additional few hours to study these subjects.

In the 11th grade, additional hours will help allocate for pre-vocational training of students.

Structure

Well, at the very end I would like to look a little at the structure of the curriculum (i.e. those points that must be present there).

1. Title page. However, this is not a separate sheet, as in a term paper or essay. This is the so-called “anatomy” of the educational institution. The name of the school or university, department, specialty (with codes), etc. should be indicated here.
2. Next item: summary data regarding the time budget (by week). The time allocated for studying, tests and exams, and vacation time is listed here.
3. A plan of the educational process, which specifies the distribution of hours by subject.
4. Special point: practice(industrial, pre-diploma (for university students)).
5. A separate point goes
6. A block of signatures that are sealed with a wet seal.

All these points are mandatory when drawing up curriculums. The structure of the curriculum is not subject to change and cannot be adjusted at your discretion.
