U.Porto Card

Introduction

The new U.Porto Card results from a partnership between the University and Banco Santander Totta, which guarantees better conditions to pursue the mission and strategic objectives of the University, by encouraging excellence in teaching, research, development and innovation, in culture and heritage value.

The U.Porto Card is intended for the students of the University registered in the SIGARRA information system as "F" (Attending) students for periods exceeding 3 months.

It’s a smart card integrating different technologies, contact and contactless, which gathers several functionalities:

• It identifies you as a member of the U.Porto academic community;
• Allows access to internal services within the various organic units (library loans, access control, etc.);
• Access to other services provided by third parties, under special terms.

 
Aiming to encourage the use of the new U.Porto Card, safeguarding the existing functionalities in the different organic units that use the card and the implementation of innovative ones, the Digital University is currently studying ways to adapt the different systems to the new card.
