Dear WIUT Students,
I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe.
We, at WIUT, have been monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the response of communities world-wide to this Global Pandemic.
Our absolute goal is to protect the health and wellbeing of the entire WIUT community, while continuing to ensure the delivery of our programmes to the best degree possible.
Just to remind you that WIUT’s official website and COVID-19 webpage are the primary source of information and updates related to the University operations and University communicates all important updates across the various channels available.
As you know, since last Monday, 16th March on our campuses, as a preventive measure, entry of students, guests and visitors have been restricted, and many employees are working remotely from home. We are offering distance learning for our students and, so far there has been no interruption of work by employees, and technology is being used to its fullest potential to maintain productivity.
You are also aware that, according to WIUT’s Academic Calendar for 2019-2020 we have scheduled the final exams’ week starting from 13th April which were supposed to be held mainly on campus. However, at this point of time we believe that organizing on-campus final exams may not be possible taking into account the current circumstances, and, therefore, it is decided that WIUT will offer students alternative assessment types which will not require physical presence of students on campus. The alternative assessments may include Take Home/Open Book Exams and other types of assessment which will give students opportunity to submit their assessments remotely (on-line) without a need to come to WIUT. For this purpose all concerned WIUT Academic Staff is right now geared up to prepare the alternatives. Most probably early next week, students shall receive from Academic Registrar’s Office the revised schedule for submission of their alternative assessments and necessary guidelines. This information will be communicated to you by your WIUT e-mail and, therefore, please check regularly your e-mail accounts not to miss important information/updates.
Just to make it clear, it will not be a real time on-line assessments because we understand the concern of those students who live in remote areas and may have poor internet connection and, thus, may be disadvantaged. Therefore, students will be given enough time to prepare and submit their assessments.
We took this decision in the best interests of our students as we care about your health and wellbeing, and if I may appeal to you, PLEASE STAY AT HOME DURING THE QUARANTINE PERIOD AND DON’T GO OUT AS WE WORK HARD TO GIVE YOU OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND DEVELOPE. As your social responsibility, please encourage your close ones, relatives and friends to stay @home as well!
Don’t forget to wear a protective mask as directed by Authorities if you critically need to go out. I would also like to ask you to follow and strictly comply with the other directives of the Authorities.
Take care and stay safe @HOME!
Wishing you all the best,
Komiljon Karimov

Когда закончится карантин ?
Пока власти предпринимают вне необходимые меры для предотвращения распространения инфекции по стране. Так, к примеру, с 1 апреля в Ташкенте, Нукусе и областных центрах вводится режим самоизоляции для пожилых людей.
ТАШКЕНТ, 1 апр — Sputnik. Начальник Государственной инспекции санитарно-эпидемиологического надзора Узбекистана Нурмат Отабеков объяснил, когда в республике завершится карантин.
Более 200 узбекистанцев выписаны после карантина в Ташкентской области
По его словам, вопрос отмене карантина можно поднять после того, как пройдет 14 дней с момента госпитализации и изоляции последнего выявленного зараженного COVID-19.
Специалист также рассказал, какие меры необходимо соблюдать гражданам, которые переболели коронавирусом, были выписаны из больницы и теперь возвращаются домой. К слову, большая часть рекомендаций относится и к тем, кто просто сидит дома на карантине.
"После выписки пациент должен соблюдать правила личной гигиены, то есть, часто мыть руки, проветривать помещение, избегать лишних контактов с людьми, находиться под наблюдением медицинского персонала и следовать его рекомендациям", – отметил Отабеков.
Эксперт высказал свое мнение и по поводу длительности ношения лицевой маски.
"В течение периода карантина маску следует менять каждые 3 часа", - заявил он.
Специалист также прокомментировал вопрос дезинфекции, которая проводится на рынка и в продовольственных магазинах. Жители республики опасались, что это повлияет на качество продуктов питания.
"Работы по дезинфекции проводятся также и в продуктовых магазинах. Продукты должны быть в упаковке, чтобы они не пачкались. При проведении данной процедуры необходимо использовать пленку, целлофан и другие средства защиты для продуктов, которые не переносят дезинфицирующий раствор", – заметил Отабеков.
Ранее эксперт разъяснил гражданам, как утилизировать использованные медицинские маски.
МИНЗДРАВ УЗБЕКИСТАНА
Еще четверо узбекистанцев вылечились от COVID-19 — Минздрав
По его словам, их следует по возможности сжигать, или перед утилизацией разрезать ножницами для того, чтобы они были непригодны для дальнейшего использования посторонними людьми.
Напомним: по последним данным, общее число инфицированных COVID-19 в Узбекистане составляет 173 человека, 12 граждан выздоровели, двое скончались.
С сегодняшнего дня гражданам старше 65 лет категорически запрещено покидать свои дома.
Разрешается только посещать аптеки и магазины продовольствия и товаров первой необходимости, расположенные рядом с местом жительства. Такое решение приняла Специальная республиканская комиссия по борьбе с коронавирусом.

Summer program MAYBE continued
Dear Intrax Participant,
All sponsors have received guidance to delay arrivals until May 11th and even if a further delay is necessary, Intrax is committed to welcoming summer participants and ensuring that students currently in the U.S. return home safely.
First of all, I hope that all of you and your families are well and are managing to cope with the dramatic changes to our lives that are being experienced around the world. The actions being taking across the globe to follow government health directives will allow us to come out the other side of this situation sooner rather than later.
Our San Francisco HQ staff have been working from home for the past ten days (and the unknown future) and are successfully continuing to conduct business during these complicated times. Juggling children at home and working effectively with your staff and all our participants certainly adds complications to our lives but our team is handling these challenges exceptionally well. We are all concerned regarding the economic impact on you and our program. I want you to know that our entire team is being proactive and productive to insure that our programs operate as normally as possible. While we are taking care of the present, and planning for the future, I want to reassure you that we are on a firm financial footing, and well positioned to weather this unusual situation. We have a strong, creative, and determined team, and we will be here to support you now and in future as soon as the current travel bans are lifted.
Intrax is prepared to work with you in a flexible way to make sure we can continue to provide our excellent program and support to you. In addition, the State Department has indicated they are prepared to allow us maximum flexibility on deadlines and other regulations during this difficult time, and we will address these exceptions program-by-program.
We feel the future will be bright and thank you for your trust. We are here for you today, and always. Please address any specific concerns or questions to this email address if any. We thank you for your patience, and support. We understand that the last several weeks have had many disconcerting global developments about COVID-19, and while concerns continue, we write today to reassure you that Intrax remains oriented toward summer 2020 arrivals.
We are encouraged by the cooperation of host communities and companies that are assisting in-country students and we have been receiving reports from host companies across the U.S. that they are optimistic about moving forward with a successful summer. Intrax is planning for the same and have been heartened to know from our overseas partners that many students remain interested in summer arrivals.
All sponsors have received guidance to delay arrivals until May 11th and even if a further delay is necessary, Intrax is committed to welcoming summer participants and ensuring that students currently in the U.S. return home safely.
SUMMER ENHANCEMENTS
Below are some ways that we can reinforce our program for the summer.
Insurance: Envisage has confirmed that any Coronavirus Covid-19 related expenses would be covered under the current plan. Intrax recommends supplemental insurance for participants should they have specific concerns.
· Pre-Existing Health Issues: Students are requested to study their pre-existing health conditions (e.g. respiratory health issues) to reconsider coming on the program.
o Should you with pre-existing health conditions move forward with an application, it is vital they are aware Envisage will not cover pre-existing conditions. Supplemental insurance should be purchased.
· Health Records:
o Health Certification – the below are suggestions and not currently requirements.
§ We recommend consulting with a doctor and obtaining a certification of good health (with translation) in the days before flying to the U.S.
§ Copies of health records/immunizations would be helpful for participants (e.g. tuberculosis, measles, rubella, hepatitis,)
· Spirit of the Program:

· Spirit of the Program:
As always, this program is primarily about cultural exchange so if there is any indication of a company potentially displacing American workers, then Intrax will not allow those placements.
o The White House is anticipating a strong recovery, but we ask for your understanding and continued support.
· Travel and Visa Information:
o Ensure that you post visa interview dates and results to MyIntrax.
o Once visa issuance resumes, this will demonstrate concretely to host companies that they can expect student arrivals (i.e. important to avoid cancellations by providing visa information).
OPERATIONS
Please reach out to Intrax if you have any questions or concerns. We wish you, your families, and team all the best.
Regards,
Your Intrax Work Travel Team

‼️FOR THOSE WHO RECEIVED 1200$ due to pandemic in US after filing tax return ‼️
Dear Participants,
Spirit hopes you are doing well and staying healthy! As part of the United States' COVID-19 stimulus law (the CARES Act), the United States is sending a CARES payment to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Some of you may be surprised to receive such a deposit in your bank account. We believe that J-1 participants who filed the wrong tax return for 2018 or 2019 may receive this payment in error. Spirit participants are J-1 nonresident aliens and are not eligible for a CARES payment or any financial assistance through the CARES Act. We strongly urge you not to spend this money and leave it in your bank account. The United States government is aware of this issue and is investigating the situation.
Participants who have filed the wrong tax return or have received a CARES payment can fix this problem by following the steps below.
1 Determine if you filed your 2018 and 2019 tax return correctly. As a J-1 nonresident alien you should probably be filing a 1040-NR tax return. Spirit Cultural Exchange recommends Sprintax (www.sprintax.com) as the preferred tax software for J-1 participants. If you used TurboTax, you probably filed the wrong tax return. To file a corrected (amended) tax return, simply contact Sprintax and they will assist you. Spirit's participants are provided free assistance with their 2019 U.S. federal tax return. Simply access the Spirit Support Center and select FREE TAX FILING and you will be connected to Sprintax for assistance.
2 To return the CARES payment to the U.S. government, you should do so separately from your amended tax return. Please click on this link and follow the instructions from the U.S. tax authority (IRS) to return your payment: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc161
3 Make copies of everything you send to the IRS for any future visa applications.
It is important that you file the correct tax forms and return any payments that were sent you in error. If you do not, it may negatively impact your ability to apply for a visa in the future. The IRS will work to recover any payments made in error and INTEREST (%) will be added to any payments that are not returned.

‼️Scholarship conditions‼️
WIUT Scholarship Programme to be defined as a 100% fee waiver offered to citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan entering WIUT at level 3.
30 scholarship places are available at level 3. In order to keep scholarship privileges, students have to demonstrate top performance. The performance is determined by the CIFS certificate with merit or distinction (foundation level) or by the Dean's List (for all undergraduate degree levels). Failing to comply with the above leads to withdraw the scholarship.
Dear applicants,
Please see below the WIUT’s scholarship conditions
WIUT normally offers 30 scholarships on annual basis to support most talented applicants to the University from Uzbekistan as part of its social responsibility strategy. These scholarships are covered from WIUT’s own financial resources and, therefore, the Executive Team of University makes decision on number of available scholarships based on the financial position of WIUT;
WIUT Scholarship Programme to be defined as a 100% fee waiver offered to citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan entering WIUT at level 3;
Only those applicants, who indicated their desire to win the scholarship at the point of application to the University, will be considered for the WIUT scholarship program;
WIUT Scholarship is to be offered based on performance in English (IELTS scores only) and the WIUT Entrance exam in mathematics: The principle is a weighted score of 60% IELTS and 40% Mathematics;
Only top thirty applicants who performed highest scores will be granted scholarship. According to University Policy, if someone refuses to study within the top thirty, his/her scholarship offer shall not be transferred to any other candidate beyond the top thirty;
30 scholarship places are available at level 3 and in order to keep scholarship privileges at next levels, students have to demonstrate top performance. The performance is determined by the CIFS certificate with merit or distinction (foundation level) or by the Dean's List (for all undergraduate degree levels). Failing to comply with the above leads to withdrawal of the scholarship;
According to the Decree of Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan (№ 417, June 2, 2018), the statute about the procedure on enrolling handicapped students on the basis of additional scholarship places in all HE institutions has been adopted. Supporting government’s initiative WIUT allocates 2 places for such category of people from 2020-2021 academic year;
3 scholarship places are available for students who completed full-term military service in the army but with the condition, a student progresses to the next level. Otherwise, the scholarship for such a category of students is withdrawn as well;
Any restriction that had been previously imposed to scholarship students after the graduation in terms of receiving their degree certificates is now lifted.
The University reserves the right to reject those scholarship applicants, who did not meet one of the parameters of WIUT.
For self-financed students:
15% discount is available to self-financed students who managed to be in the Dean’s List (including those who completed the foundation level with merit or distinction). This scheme is also viewed as an incentive for better studying and social support.
Starting from 2019-2020 academic year, in addition to 30 scholarship places, 2 tuition-free scholarship places are allocated for handicapped students.
These scholarships are granted to persons who belong to disability groups I and II, based on the first two highest entry exam scores among them and prove they belong to families with low socio-economic background. Such applicants should submit written applications for a scholarship with all the attached evidence through the Executive Office for consideration.

Dear All,
As promised, the team here at Global Friends is continuing to assess the circumstances on the ground in the U.S. and Uzbekistan.
The good news is that twenty European countries are on the downward COVID curve and businesses are re-opening all around. The world-famous Bondi Beach in Sydney reopened as did 600 garment factories in Bangladesh… China had a week of no COVID deaths. The many U.S. States are beginning to cautiously re-open business establishments. Florida, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee are opening this weekend and a lot of other states are on the way. The U.S. COVID is bending downwards, Coronavirus deaths are dramatically down. Thirty vaccines are being developed, 6 are going through human trials.
On the other hand, there are still a lot of concerns and uncertainty. We are not only monitoring advisements from the CDC, World Health Organization, and the U.S. State Department, but also actively working to understand US and local safety measures, foreign travel restrictions, visa appointment availability, airline operations, and other factors that contribute to successful exchange programs.
We do not have all the answers, and this is still a moving picture. However, it is clear that May start dates are not practical and it would be prudent for the safety of our participants, hosts, and host communities to further delay programming.
With this in mind, Global Friends is continuing to working with Visa Sponsors towards the new program dates which have been recently announced:
Below are new start dates for Sponsors:
United Work and Travel - 15th of June
CHI - 15th of June
CICD - 1st of June
CIEE - 10th of June
WWCE USA - waiting for further announcement.
Next Steps: In the next few weeks you might be getting different requests from us to sign a new Job Offer, Employment Verification, or Placement Agreement Forms. Once signed, US Visa Sponsor will update your DS-2019 forms with a Job offer and ship it to our office when possible (please note that in some states Shelter-in-place order has not been lifted yet.) Once we have it, you will be able to pick it up from our office. You all will receive new DS forms, if you have already received DS-2019 before, please hold on to them, you will need to submit them back to us and get an updated document.
Yes, we all heard the news from Havo Yullari, however, we do not have any official confirmation from the government of Uzbekistan that the borders will remain closed as well. It is our understanding that it was only a decision by one particular company not to schedule any flights for any time before the 30th of June, which still can be changed depending on the situation. We still expect that all of the students will be able to arrive to the USA by the 15th of June, with the consideration of welfare and safety.
SWT Program Transfers from Summer 2020 to Summer 2021:
A lot of you have reached our office asking if participation in the program can be rescheduled for next year. We have confirmed this option and it is now available for those of you who are certain that they want to reschedule their program for the next year.
The Work and Travel program is still ACTIVE, but if you are an eligible candidate to participate in the program next year (will be 2nd, 3rd or last year student in the year 2020-2021)
and wish to do so, we can start that process.
Please note, if you choose this option, we will not issue a refund, but will transfer your current payment for the next year. In this case, you will only lose $200 + $35 SEVIS fee (You will be required to pay the fee of $235 in Jan 2021 and nothing else). If you take this option, you will likely not be required to pass sponsor/employer interviews, and your application will be fast-tracked, you will remain all the benefits of being Global Friends' participant (including participation in Conferences, Coaching sessions, Marketing materials, etc) and will have a priority over newly registered participants.
As promised, the team here at Global Friends is continuing to assess the circumstances on the ground in the U.S. and Uzbekistan.
The good news is that twenty European countries are on the downward COVID curve and businesses are re-opening all around. The world-famous Bondi Beach in Sydney reopened as did 600 garment factories in Bangladesh… China had a week of no COVID deaths. The many U.S. States are beginning to cautiously re-open business establishments. Florida, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee are opening this weekend and a lot of other states are on the way. The U.S. COVID is bending downwards, Coronavirus deaths are dramatically down. Thirty vaccines are being developed, 6 are going through human trials.
On the other hand, there are still a lot of concerns and uncertainty. We are not only monitoring advisements from the CDC, World Health Organization, and the U.S. State Department, but also actively working to understand US and local safety measures, foreign travel restrictions, visa appointment availability, airline operations, and other factors that contribute to successful exchange programs.
We do not have all the answers, and this is still a moving picture. However, it is clear that May start dates are not practical and it would be prudent for the safety of our participants, hosts, and host communities to further delay programming.
With this in mind, Global Friends is continuing to working with Visa Sponsors towards the new program dates which have been recently announced:
Below are new start dates for Sponsors:
United Work and Travel - 15th of June
CHI - 15th of June
CICD - 1st of June
CIEE - 10th of June
WWCE USA - waiting for further announcement.
Next Steps: In the next few weeks you might be getting different requests from us to sign a new Job Offer, Employment Verification, or Placement Agreement Forms. Once signed, US Visa Sponsor will update your DS-2019 forms with a Job offer and ship it to our office when possible (please note that in some states Shelter-in-place order has not been lifted yet.) Once we have it, you will be able to pick it up from our office. You all will receive new DS forms, if you have already received DS-2019 before, please hold on to them, you will need to submit them back to us and get an updated document.

Dear Students,
All appeals for a review of a decision of Progression and Award Board (previously Assessment Board) on student progress, assessment and awards have to be done during this deadline:

All appeals should be sent to the email (gumrzakova@wiut.uz) of Senior Officer on Academic Policy. Appeal deadlines are strict to follow and appeals sent later than the published deadline and without exam script evidence will not be considered. (Exam scripts have to be requested from the Faculty Office within the set deadline by the Faculty. In case exam scripts provision will be delayed by the Faculty, only this can be considered a valid reason for late appeals to be considered.)
Please be informed that: Academic appeals which seek to challenge the academic judgement of the examiners will not be considered, and therefore matters of academic judgement will not be grounds for an academic appeal. Academic judgement is when you feel and think your mark should be higher than the mark given by your assessor by simply judging the examiner.
You can appeal on cases as that there has been demonstrable material irregularity in the conduct of the Progression and Award Board procedures. It is mostly when there are some technical errors made by the assessor or the feedback you received do not comply with the answers you provided. In appeal form you have to present the reasons for your appeal with the evidence.
According to regulations, all academic appeals are considered at most 20 working days from the day appeal received at Stage 1 and the outcome will be sent to the student's University webmail. In case your appeal has been accepted, if you achieve higher mark, then there will be changes in the student record system(SRS). If your appeal has been rejected, then you will loose refer/defer opportunity if you miss the exam by relying on appeal outcome. Therefore you have to take refer/defer exam in case your appeal results are not announced by the time refer/defer exam day.
Appeal forms can be downloaded and for full information go to trough the link: http://registrar.wiut.uz/SitePages/Submit%20an%20Appeal.aspx .
