- What will happen once I get a new card?
Your old card will be blocked once a new card is printed. New card will be activated on the following day. Remaining credits for canteen or Xeroxes will be transferred to your new card as well as list of lend books from library. Your passwords and building entrance rights are transferred as well.
Senior year students who have paid for a revalidation stamp and had it stuck on back of their ISIC card will not have to pay for a new validation. Validity of their new card is printed on the front of their new card. Students who have not paid for a revalidation stamp but want to get a new valid ISIC card must pay for the revalidation on-line before coming to the ID cards office, or they can pay in cash there.- Canteen
Your money will be transferred as well as your password. If you have ordered a meal on the same day as your card is printed you must pick up a meal ticket at a cashier’s desk in the main canteen. Next day’s order will be transferred to your new card. New orders using your new card are available before noon the day after printing of the card.
FoM or FoHS students who eat at the University Hospital canteen must report change of their card in UH office next to the canteen. New chip number will be then uploaded into their systems. You do not have to pick up a meal ticket, meals ordered on the day of card’s print are available. - Library
Book loans are transferred. However, you will receive a new user ID number for university libraries (e.g. C000012345). User ID number is used by students who order books they want to lend on-line. You will receive your new number from the library employees at desk B or at ID card office when receiving the card. You must inform the employees of Olomouc Research Library about change of your ID card and let them update your new card number into their system. - Xerox
Your credit and login will be transferred. If you experience issues with the credit transfer, go to computer network administrator in the ground floor in Zbrojnice (next to the computer room) or to desk B in the library. This service is available also at Theoretical institutes library.
Foreign students with changed pseudo-birth code in STAG and a new card printed will have the same password as with their old card. - DPMO
Your new ISIC card will have a new licence number in case of loss/theft (under photography).
