Student cards

Types of student cards

All of the 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.

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, onecolour background) in format 3.5 x 4.5 cm. Format of the digital photo should be .jpg.
The card will be created immediately on the spot at Card centre. 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 desired card for you.
When collecting the card, you will sign the Certificate of having recieved a CZU ID Card and consent to the processing of personal data, respectively Contract / Application for the activation and use of the CZU Electronic Wallet. One copy of the protocol we save in the Card centre and one is for you. The UEP agreement is to be taken to the Cash desk.
To activate the card you have to go to Cash desk and pay the card fee. If you wish to use UEP, you pay the deposit at the same time.
The card will be fully activated next day after the payment. Please note that the payment / activation is a necessary step for the card to work.
Keep your card in quality cover. 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.

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.
