HOW CAN I REQUEST A STUDENT CARD?

1. Your Hungarian mentor will go with you to an office in the city centre, where you can request your student card. There, you have to:

a. show your passport and a student status certificate, and provide your personal details

b. have your photo taken

c. get a document with a so-called NEK number / NEK code on the top right corner of it.

2. Upload the NEK number / NEK code to the Neptun system.

3. Visit the Students' Centre (Building A/4, room 20) with your Hungarian mentor student, where a temporary student card (a sheet of paper, valid for 60 days) will be issued. When it expires, you can request a new one at the same place.

4. You will be informed by the Students' Centre via e-mail, when your student card is ready. Visit the Students' Centre to receive your student card. Do not forget to ask for a sticker on it, which makes the student card valid for the actual semester. You will have to ask for a new sticker in each semester - and without a validation sticker, the student card is not valid.

CAN I HAVE A STUDENT CARD / TEMPORARY STUDENT CARD RIGHT AFTER MY ARRIVAL?

You cannot - you have to undergo the previously explained process.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY STUDENT CARD IS LOST?

1. Prepare the document with the NEK number / NEK code (that you received when you applied for the student card for the first time).

2. Upload the NEK number / NEK code to the Neptun system, then choose the option 'lost student card' (or something similar, referring to what happened to your previous student card).

3. Visit the Students' Centre (Building A/4, room 20) with your Hungarian mentor student, where a temporary student card  will be issued for you. By the time it expires, you can request a new one at the same place.
