What is an alumni card?

The alumni card is a digital ID that allows you to stay connected with Silesian University even after graduation and to enjoy related benefits.

Eligibility for the alumni card is granted to individuals who have duly completed their studies by graduating from an accredited study programme in the relevant field and have been awarded a university diploma. An SU employee who is also a graduate of the University may obtain the alumni card as well. For the purpose of obtaining an alumni card, participants of the University of the Third Age and graduates of lifelong learning programmes are not considered alumni.

The AliveID Alumni card allows you to benefit from numerous discounts throughout the Czech Republic within the GTS partner network. A comprehensive list of discounts is available on the isic.cz website. In addition, the card entitles you to benefits provided by Silesian University, such as library access, services of the Career and Counselling Centre, and discounts on lifelong learning courses. The AliveID Alumni card is valid from the date of issue until the end of the current calendar year; its validity is automatically extended for the following year.
