Student ID
Student ID is a document confirming one’s student status and entitlement to statutory discounts. For the purpose of student’s identification, the ID contains the basic personal data (encoded onto the chip) and a photograph. It is issued to every JU MC SME student at the beginning of their 1st year free of charge.
Validity
The ID requires biannual prolongation. The expiry date is shown on the holograms (the stickers on the back of the ID; valid by March 31 and October 31 of each year). The ID is prolonged by a staff member at the School Office on the condition that the student has met all their obligations (academic and monetary) towards the university.
Discounts and privileges
The student ID entitles its holder to statutory discounts: 50% discount on the city public transportation (no age limit), and discounts in long-distance public transportation such as coaches and trains (by the age of 26 years old). It will also enable one to benefit from various commercial offers directed to students (e.g. discounts in bookstores).
Additional functions
The student ID can also serve as a library card or a public transportation pass, once encoded with appropriate information by respective bodies. To have a tram pass encoded onto the ID, one needs to visit the MPK office (see “Punkt Sprzedaży Biletów”).
Replacement
If the ID is lost, stolen or damaged, a duplicate can be issued by the School Office. To request a duplicate of the ID, a student must fill out the FORM, and submit it to the School Office along with the confirmation of payment for the reissue (unless the reissue is required due to a faulty original ID).
