How to order a student card?

Ordering

For the order form you will need your student number. You will find it in the personal settings of your profile in Peppi, in grey colour in the top left corner. You can check the number in Peppi a little before the start of a semester.

The facial image

The picture for your student card should be a close-up of your face, with the face fully visible and easily identifiable. The picture does not have to be an official passport photo, but it needs to be similar to a passport photo.
