ID Cards
At MU there are several types of ID cards that prove the holder's affiliation with MU. They are needed for identification when entering buildings, classrooms, libraries, and other university premises, to identify a person in relation to the catering system, and when using copiers, printers and other devices such as student-room washing machines. The general principle is that any person in MU may always hold a maximum of one valid card.
Student's Card
- The University is required by law to issue a Student's card. This type of ID card can be used by students of all types of study programmes (Bachelor's, Master's, and doctoral) and in all forms of study (full-time, combined and distance).
- To obtain a Student's card, it is neccessary to be enrolled, have a photograph taken or upload a photo through the dedicated INET application, order the card through the MU Information System, and make the payment.
- The card is then collected at the respective Office for Studies (or other relevant department) in the specified time period (usually after the start of the semester).
- The card is valid only within the university and does not entitle the student to discounts or benefits from external entities.
International Student Identity Card (ISIC)
- The international student ISIC card is intended for full-time students enrolled in regular study programmes and allows students to access discounts and benefits from external entities.
- To obtain the student ISIC card, one must complete the enrolment process, have their photograph taken or upload a photo through the dedicated INET application, order the card via the MU Information System, and make the payment.
- The card is then collected at the respective Office for Studies (or other relevant department) in the specified time period (usually after the start of the semester). The functionality of the card for MU uses is not dependent on the marked validity (or revalidation).
- Each holder of a plastic ISIC card can also use the digital card in the Alive App (available for free download on the App Store or Google Play), which is primarily used for claiming discounts with benefit partners. The validity of the ISIC card is extended through digital revalidation, displayed on the digital card.
International Teacher Identity Card (ITIC)
- The international ITIC card is intended for academic staff who have an employment contract with MU lasting at least one year and with at least a half-time workload. This card allows academics to access teacher discounts and benefits from external entities.
- To obtain the ITIC card, one must have their photograph taken or upload a photo through the dedicated INET application.
- The card is ordered and issued by the corresponding faculty personnel department.
- The functionality of the card at MU is not dependent on the marked validity (or revalidation).

Just like the ISIC cards, each holder of a plastic ITIC card can also use the digital card in the Alive App, which is primarily used for claiming discounts with benefit partners. The validity of the ITIC card is extended through revalidation stickers, and the current validity is also updated in the digital card.
Employee's Card
- The Employee's Card is issued to employees who have not been issued an ITIC card.
- To obtain the employee card, one must have their photograph taken or upload a photo through the dedicated INET application.

ID Card for Participants of Lifelong Learning
- The card is issued to participants of lifelong learning programs if required by the conditions of the program.
- To obtain the card, one must have their photograph taken or upload a photo through the dedicated INET application.

- The card is ordered and issued by the corresponding faculty personnel department or Office for Studies.
- The validity of the card is determined by the corresponding department.
Who Issues the Card and How to Get It
The issue and use of ID cards at MU are governed by the provisions of the Rector's Directive No. 3/2017 and the Quaestor's Instruction No. 5/2017. The first issuance and all other card-related actions (re-issue after change of personal information or loss or damage to the card) is for the staff provided by the Personnel Department of the relevant workplace, for students by the Office for Studies of the relevant faculty.
The first issue of the ID card usually takes place automatically at the beginning of the study or employment relationship at MU and is free of charge. The condition for issuing the card is to photograph the applicant. The student / employee collects the completed card at the authorized workplace; unless otherwise stated, the card is usually ready within 7 days from taking the photograph. The fees for ISIC, ITIC, and other ID cards are set by the directive and instruction.
Changing Personal Information or Losing the Card
Students or employees are responsible to report changes of personal information or loss of the card to the relevant personnel or studies office to ensure a production of an updated or new card. If the cardholder agrees with his/her original photo, there is no need to take a photo again. The card is available again within 7 days from requesting an updated or new issue. Updated issue of ID card is provided for a fee according to the Instruction.
Damaged or Non-functioning Card
If the identification or technological elements of the card are damaged, the holder of the card has the obligation to ask the authorized workplace for issue of a new card. After confirming the malfunction, the relevant workplace proceeds similarly to the change of data or the loss of the card. If a non-functioning card is physically undamaged, it is sent to a vendor for a claim, and the new issue is free of charge.
Expiry of the License
Students can renew their ISIC card by means of digital revalidation at the IS MU Business Centre (if they are interested). The extension of the validity of ITIC cards is carried out by the relevant HR department via revalidation stamps. The functionality of ISIC/ITIC cards at MU does not depend on the validity of the card. The ISIC/ITIC card remains in the holder's possession after the end of the study/work relationship with the University. The holder is obliged to return other types of cards to the designated department (unless otherwise specified by the designated department)
