Membership
Why not become a member of the student union? Membership is very useful not only when walking around the campuses, but wherever you are in your studies. Make the most of your study time and the benefits offered by membership. The validity sticker on the physical AMK student card and/or the Slice or Pivo mobile student card serves as the identity of the membership.
Student Card for Everyone
When you start your studies as a degree student at Savonia University of Applied sciences you will get a free student card. Every student will need one, because it will work as your ID, printing card and key for the lockers. There will be photoshoot for the student card at the beginning of your studies.
It is recommended that you order a physical student card, as it works on campus as a student’s ID card, as an identification card for multifunction devices, and as a key to storage lockers. In the social and health fields, the physical student card is also used during internships as a student ID card.
If you buy the membership of Student Union, you will get a sticker for the card which will provide student discounts and other benefits for you. After buying the membership you can also download the mobile version of student card from Slice app.
As a remote student, you do not necessarily need a physical student card. In this case, you can use the Slice and/or Pivo mobile student card offered by the student union to its members. These can be implemented easily through the online store. See more information and detailed operating instructions here.
