Once the registration procedure has been finalised with payment of the first instalment, the Student Services Office will check that it is correct and includes all the necessary information and attachments before confirming the Student ID number already allocated provisionally.

The Student’s Record Book is an e-document and no longer issued in hard copy (although some paper versions are still in circulation from students who registered in past years). You can access your digital Record Book from your Student Portal account (where you can log in with your Student ID number and the password created during the registration procedure).

During registration (and each time you visit the Student Services Office for administrative procedures), you must have your smart card and/or hard copy of your Student Record Book to hand (if you still have this version).

University Smart Card

The University Smart Card is a document that identifies you as a student of the Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale.

As of academic year 2020/2021, the card is produced in partnership with the Banca Popolare di Sondrio. In addition to serving as an ID document within the university, it also functions as a bank card with which you can receive any grant sums, payments for part-time work, Erasmus funds and fee/tax reimbursements.

Once activated, the card can also be used for making payments, to the university and other entities.

To activate the card as a means of payment, follow this procedure:

1. 1. visit the Carta Ateneo+  website and follow the instructions
   2. confirm your activation of the card via this link: Upo Smart Card Universitaria

Further information on activation and use of the card can be obtained from the Bank and the website www.ateneopiu.it

Students enrolling in 2020/2021 will be sent their card at home by the Bank.

Students who received their Smart Card for the Piedmont university system in previous years can continue to use this as a university ID card – we will shortly provide more information on how to obtain the new card.

Canteen card

The card for use of the canteen service is issued and managed by E.Di.S.U (Regional Authority for the Right to Higher Education). To book the service, fill in the online form at: https://sia.uniupo.it/riservato/studenti/buoni_pasto.php.
