UC Student Card
| The
UC Student Card is issued in partnership with the Bank Santander automatically
after the enrolment and registration. In order to know all the advantages associated with
this partnership of the University of Coimbra click at www.santander.pt/universitarios » |
It is the Identification Document used in exams, libraries and other services of the UC; it enables the access to the UC buildings and classes, and a lot more! » For further information about the functioning
of the card please click www.uc.pt/cartao » (in Portuguese). NOTE: The card is indispensable to access the University buildings daily. |
 | Do you have to do anything to obtain your Student card? |
No. The UC issues automatically the cards for all the students who enrol/register at the UC, including those admitted by means of the National Contest of Access and Admission (CNA). To
this end, students just need to have their photo and personal data, including the
name to be included in the card (given name and one or two surnames), inserted
at InforEstudante. | |
| Do
you need the card to enter the UC buildings? |
| |
Yes, you do. This is why temporary cards are used in some situations. |
| You were admitted by means of the National Contest of Access. Where do you pick up your Student Card? |
| | For the new Students admitted by means of the National Contest of Access and Admission (CNA),
the temporary card is delivered during the in-person enrolment. If the
enrolment is carried out online, it is also possible to receive the card
at the location during the enrolment period or at a location and on a
date to be communicated to the student. In summary:
|
 | Where do you pick up your (permanent) Student Card? |
After
the student card is issued, when it arrives at the Faculty/Department, it is
registered and validated. This procedure triggers an automatic notification to
the Student with the information necessary for him/her to pick it up: (1) At the Student Assistance Office/Service of your
Faculty or Department: (2) At the International Relations Unit (DRI): (3) At the Academic Centre of the Academic Management
Services in Polo 1 (Student Hub): The same procedure is applied to the students who have a temporary card. The whole process is managed by the Information Technology Platform “Management of UC Cards” that sends the necessary information to SIBS, which is the entity responsible for the cards’ issuance. This platform is available to the Faculties, and at the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, to its Departments. | |
| How to obtain a new Student Card? |
If
anything wrong happened with your current student card still within the expiry
date, for example, malfunction, theft or loss, you must contact your
Faculty/Department so that a new one is issued. » The
Faculty/Department operationalises this request by means of the option “Request
for a Card Reissuance”) at the “UC Card Management” Platform. If
you want to change information of your student card, (for example, your photo),
or you need a brand new student card, then you must request a new card by doing
the same thing. » The Faculty/Department operationalises this request by means of the option “Request a new card” at the “UC Card Management” Platform. |
