Student cards

Types of student cards

All students at CZU can apply for their own university card. This card is valid through your whole study (including repeated study, subsequent study, interrupted study etc.) and serves as your ID card, student status receipt, allows entrance in the university buildings and evidence of attendance at certain lectures and it is not necessary to extend its validity!

Whatever card issued elsewhere than at CZU is not valid as a student card at CZU.

Procedure for issuing cards

Check your personalia in the University information system. The card can be issued only if the personal details are complete including a passport picture (photo showing head and a part of shoulders, front face should be directed to the lens, one-color background) in format 3.5 x 4.5 cm. The format of the digital photo should be .jpg and the size max. 500Kb!
Before issuing/ordering the card it is necessary to grant all relevant approvals (for the using of card and studies at CZU) in the UIS (is.czu.cz) in the section Protection of personal data, subsection Approvals by user.
The card will be created immediately on the spot at Card centre. The card centre is on the ground floor of the library building, number 139b.You have to come personally. We advise you to come for your card before the semester starts to avoid long queues.
After proving your identity we will create a chosen card for you.
To activate the card you have to go to Cash desk (ground floor of the library, check opening hours)and pay the card fee. If you wish to use UEP, you pay the deposit at the same time. Payment must be made within seven calendar days of receipt.
The card will be fully activated the next day after the payment. Please note that the payment/activation is a necessary step for the card to work.
When using it, do not remove it from the cover, do not bend it, or do not expose it to strong magnetic fields and excessive heat.
Temporary or in an emergency state, the card can be ordered online through the CZU book e-shop. If you have a photo uploaded, the approvals granted and the payment made, the card will be sent by post. You can find current information on our website in the section News.

Digital ISIC, ALIVE in mobile

ISIC and ALIVE cards can now also be used outside the university in digital form. Just download the ALIVE APP mobile application for free in the APP STORE or GOOGLE PLAY and activate your profile.

You will then always have your ISIC or ALIVE digital card at hand, in your mobile phone. It is accepted by discount providers and in transport, including the state-mandated discount for students. However, the digital version of the card does not fully replace the plastic version of the card with a chip, which you need for use at the university.

In the application you will get further

• simple overview of all discounts – search by location, possibility to save favorite discounts
• access to exclusive competitions or limited offers
d• an overview of current insurance policies and their validity
• in case of loss, change of validity, etc., the digital card is automatically updated according to the newly issued card
• notification of the expiration of the license
• ID number legible and clearly visible at all times

Electronic evidence of attendance

Certain lectures are using the evidence of attendance using student cards - at the entrance each student is obliged to mark his/her attendance by applying his/her student card on the sensor device.

Therefore you need an active student card right from the first day of your studies. The activation follows the payment for the student card in the Cash desk. A card that has not been paid for / activated is not identified by the sensor. Missing more lectures can finally lead to the termination of study at CZU. Hence we advise you to fetch your student card in advance, preferably before the semester starts to avoid the queues.
