Every student at the Palacký University gets an ID card called ISIC. If the length of studies is longer than one month and the students do not own an ISIC card from their home or an UP standard blue ID card and they would like to own a Palacký University card, students can pay the deposit 200 CZK and 350 CZK license fee.

With ISIC, you can then pay for your meals at university canteens, print and copy documents in the library, or get discounts at fitness centers, shops, restaurants, entrance fees, etc. More information about ISIC use in the Czech Republic at isic.cz

In the academic year 2024/2025, validation stamps will no longer be affixed to ISIC/ITIC cards. The revalidation will be done digitally. After enrolling in the next year, simply pay the renewal in STAG and the new validity will appear in the Alive App within a few days.

Students can apply for their identification card (ISIC/UP card) AFTER THE ARRIVAL in the following way:

1. After logging into portal.upol.cz, go to "My profile" in the upper right corner. Click on "Identification card" on the left.

2. Choose the Identification card you want to apply for (ISIC or UP card). Both provide the same services within the university. In case you already hold an ISIC from your home institution/country, request Palacký University Standard Blue Card (UP card) and pay less for the card arrangements. In case you do not have an ISIC yet, it is recommended to apply for the ISIC and use additional advantages.

3. Upload a photo and click on "Register payment in STAG" which will create a payment order in STAG. You will be redirected to a payment gateway in STAG where you will pay for the selected card. Please note that the payment order may not be visible immediately and may appear after a few minutes.

4. After the payment is received, your card will be entered for production.

5. The student will receive an e-mail notification when the card is printed (on their university email).

For employees, your identification card will be issued to you by the UP Computer Centre (CVT) no earlier than 24 hours after signing the employment contract. To issue the card, you will need an ID card and a high-quality 35×45 mm photo, which can be sent electronically. To expedite the issue of the card, ask your contact person to send the photo in advance and verify the processing status of the card. There is a limited amount of money on your card (to be used at university facilities) and when you exceed the limit, any further payments will be deducted from your wage. After clicking register payment in STAG, you will be redirected to a payment gateway in STAG where you will pay for the selected card. Please note that the payment order may not be visible immediately.

The first issuing of the card is free. In the event of loss or damage, there is a replacement fee.   

You can use the card to pay for cafeteria meals, borrow in the UP libraries (incl. The Research Library in Olomouc), making purchases in the FreshUP cafes, and the card is also necessary for accessing some university buildings and rooms.

Employees can use their employee card for the employee benefits provided by participating businesses.   

An equivalent to the employee card is an international ITIC card, which is available to academic staff with a minimal part-time contract (0.5) with a valid contract for at least one year. The fee for the card is 350 CZK. You can also apply for it at the CVT.  

For more information about the cards you can visit the Identification Cards web page or you can contact UP Computer Centre.

Using ISIC Card For Copying and Printing

With the ISIC card you can make copies and print out documents at computer labs and faculty libraries. The ISIC card also serves for the payment for these services. You can charge (top up) the card at designated charging terminals at the library desks. Also, there are copy centres in the city centre, which accept any electronic storage device to make copies and print. On average, rates range from 1 to 2 CZK per A4 page.

You can go to university canteens for lunch during the day, but first you have to make sure that your ISIC/Employee Card has been charged with some money.  

You can top up the balance on your card in: 

• Canteens 
• FreshUPs 
• at the dormitory desk 

In case you are not sure what your balance is, you can check it in the right upper corner of the canteen app. 

Once you have charged your ISIC/Employee Card, you can log into the Portal UP and click on a banner called Canteen. On the left side of the app MobilKredit2 (you can also download app which has English localization – Android, IOS) you can see a calendar. There you can choose a day and a meal. Pay special attention to the location of canteen that you are ordering your meal at. Right under the date it says "Menza" (= canteen) and you can choose one of the six locations. 

After choosing date and place, choose from one of the offered meals on the menu by clicking on the plus sign and then confirm your order by clicking on the green button “confirm” right under your current balance (in the app the button will say “Order” and will be blue). 

In case you are not able to make it for your pre-ordered lunch, you can tick your order in the below section “Orders” the cancel option and again confirm with the green button right above. Then your meal order goes to an exchange from which other people can buy your lunch from you. Unfortunately, if no one buys your lunch, the money for it will still be deducted from your account.  

You can also order your meal in the canteen. However, there is no guarantee that there will still be meals to choose from as they usually tend to get sold out. 

You can find more information about the canteens in the section Living in Olomouc. 

The main task of the Computer Centre (CVT UP) is the management of the university computer network and its information-administration system. The employees take care of the technical and technological end of things such as university e-mail and applications like UP Portal, STAG, etc. The IT Centre also prepares and prints your ISIC card.

HelpDesk, which you can find in the Portal, serves to report various malfunctions and problems with information systems or with email. If you have any trouble regarding email, STAG, or any other IT-related problem, you can always fill a report or you can contact the HelpDesk assistants through email.
