            ******************************************************************************************


            Proofreading of Academic Texts in English or in Czech is a service for Ph.D. candidates wh
            correcting and editing their academic texts. Try our service if you are unsure about gramm
            spelling in your texts!


            Be aware that this is not a regular course but a service for individuals! We ask you to ob
            FOLLOWING RULES given below; otherwise, your registration will not be accepted!


            Proofreading means a final checking of texts before their finish. It is a language editing

            spelling, punctuation) but does not cover checking the text content. We provide this servi
            candidates for free with a maximum of 30 standard pages of their academic texts. These tex
            related to their academic field within their Ph.D. study (e.g. scientific article, theses,

            The required language level is at least B2. Do not send texts translated by mechanical tra

            How the service works:


            1.Register at the time you are ready to send your text to a proofreader (e.g. do not make 
              in March if you finish your text in April or you are unsure about the finishing at all).

              interested students in the service, so we find the applications not following the rules 
              consider it a "course absence" (for the defined amount of absence, you are not allowed t
              in CU POINT events for the following semester. We take this strict measures to offer our

              students who are really interested, but they wouldn't register because of the invalid re
              the limited capacity.).
            2.During the registration, upload your text for proofreading and write a note about the nu

              standard pages (the standard page differs from a usual page full of text, see below). Yo
              cover deadline for finishing the proofreading, you wish about (un)correcting citations, 
              and the way of proofreading - modification straight in the text without comments or with

              changes. If you are not finished with your text yet, leave a message in the application.
              your uploaded text and message by a button with a floppy disc in the lower right corner.
            3.After registering for the service in the Educational Portal, wait for the confirmation m

              a proofreader that he/she is working on your text. The whole communication is online via
              Vzdělávací portál, depending on further circumstances.
            4.If you are already registered for the service but have changed your mind, please cancel 

              registration to make a vacancy for another student.

            The service is limited to 30 standard pages. If your text is longer than 30 standard pages

            a new registration for another term (concerning your colleagues on a waiting list). In cas
            proofreading for another of your text, please, do not circumvent the Educational Portal an
            registration. Without it, we cannot pay for the service for you.


            Be aware the standard page differs from the usual page. It contains 1.800 characters, incl
            a page. Please, modify your texts according to this norm.


            The service is available for the whole year.
