Electronic Student Card (ID Card)

Every undergraduate and graduate student receives an Electronic Student Card.

The Card features the student’s full name, photograph and an individual card number.

The Card is a document that identifies the student in the following SGH systems:

  • The Aleph Library catalogue – The Card is the only document which enables students to use the SGH Library. With the Electronic Student Card, students can use the Aleph system to check things such as current book loans or deadlines for returning books. They can also extend the deadline or check the history of their library loans.
  • Central Printing System – Multifunctional devices located at SGH that enable students to print, copy, scan and send documents.

The Electronic Student Card can also be used as a Warsaw City Card (for coding public transport tickets etc.).
