University of Silesia in Katowice

You need to have an electronic student ID to confirm your status as a student.

Please note! If you are already a student of the University of Silesia possessing a valid student ID and you enrol in another programme, you don’t need another student ID!

You will receive your ID from the Dean’s Office responsible for your programme.

What to do to obtain it?

You need to:

• upload your photo to the IRK system and have it accepted;
• pay the fee amounting to PLN 22.00.

The account number to transfer the fee is generated individually for each student, after you log in to the USOSweb service under DLA WSZYSTKICH.

The Dean’s Office activates the possibility to log in to the USOSweb for each candidate who has registered for a programme and has submitted the required documents. Ask your Dean’s Office when you will be able to log in to USOSweb!

Your student ID needs to be validated each semester by updating your data in the USOSweb system and by placing the hologram sticker in the relevant field in your ID. You will obtain the hologram sticker from your Dean’s Office.

You may use your student ID until the day you graduate, you are suspended or expelled.

Please note! If you graduate from a 1st level programme, your student ID is valid until 31st October of the year of your graduation.

You need to:

• report what has happened to your Dean’s Office;
• pay the fee for a duplicate student ID amounting to PLN 33,00 (the account number is the same as for your original student ID).
