The general principles of organization and functioning of the Studium Generale were defined by the statutes. They included, among other things, the rights and obligations of students, as well as general program assumptions. However, they lacked detailed information on how the teaching process was organized. They did not regulate how (orally or in writing) topics and dates for lectures, exercises, discussions, and other university events were to be announced. They did not describe how to verify whether a student attended lectures and completed exercises required for obtaining a degree. The few preserved copies of university announcements confirm that written communication was implemented very early in the daily internal communication at the University of Cracow.
