Anotace: According to the World Health Organization, the well-being of university students is

essential for students’ collective and individual ability to think, perceive emotions, cooperate
with each other, earn a living and experience the joy of life. From this point of view, both the
protection and restoration of mental health and the development of the student’s well-being
should be of fundamental interest not only to individuals, but especially to communities and
societies around the world. The paper presents the possible ways to actively support the health
and well-being of students during distance learning at Czech universities and colleges, as specifi c institutions; comprehensively, beyond a circumscribed focus on student academics (e.g.
student motivation), to the systematic development of the academic well-being of all students
(e.g. building up well-being through the adoption of the principles of a healthy lifestyle). The
paper presents methodological recommendations that are aimed at actively supporting the
health and well-being of university students during distance learning. Specifi c recommendations
are provided for each context with reference to nine routes to well-being: positive emotions,
engagement, relationships, meaning, accomplishment, physical health, environment, mindset,
and economic security.
