Electronic Student ID (ELS)

The Electronic Student Card (ELS) was introduced by the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of November 2, 2006 on the documentation of the course of studies (JournalOf Laws of 2006 No. 224, item 1634).

The ELS takes the form of a plastic card with an integrated contact and contactless electronic chip. Its graphic design is standardised across all universities and defined in the above-mentioned regulation.It contains: a photo, personal data, the expiry date of the document, confirmed by a small hologram and a visible indication of the student’s entitlement to reductions.

According to the regulation, the ID serves as an official document confirming student status. In addition, it may function as a library card and a public transport card.

The Faculty Dean’s Offices are responsible for the general handling of Electronic Student IDs (ELS).
