How does the Semmelweis Card work?

The Semmelweis Card is a virtual and requestable plastic card with a unique ID, QR code, and barcode that gives you access to the services of the Family Friendly University Program.

You will be notified by an e-mail arriving from noreply@mail.ugyfelkartya.hu upon activation of the virtual card after the end of the trial period. Students can also access their cards via e-mail during the first half of the semester.

In the registration e-mail, the user will find a link to activate the card on the Semmelweis Card web interface. Upon the first login, the system will ask for a four-digit PIN code. The application contains personal data, data management information, card regulations, and a list of discounts.

Alumni of Semmelweis University can also apply for a Semmelweis Card. They will receive a burgundy card with the logo of the Alumni Board. You can begin the application process by clicking HERE.

If you have lost your Semmelweis Card, you must report it via this e-mail address, csaladbarat@semmelweis-univ.hu, where you can apply for a new card at the same time.
