👉 Intended users
The U.PORTO Card is intended for University students registered in the SIGARRA information system with status F (attending) for periods longer than 3 months.
The U.PORTO Card is also intended for all teaching staff, researchers, non-teaching staff and grant holders of the University registered in the SIGARRA information system with status A (active). It is also intended for other U.PORTO collaborators who, although not staff or agents, maintain some type of activity with the University, usually for periods longer than 3 months, needing to access resources and/or services of the institution, and are therefore registered in the U.PORTO information system (SIGARRA), thus having a (mechanographic) registration number.
It is a smart card that includes contact and contactless technologies, which will allow several functionalities to be combined in a single card:
- Identification as a member of the U.PORTO Academic Community;
- Access to internal services existing in the various constituent entities (library loans, access control, etc.);
- Access to other services provided by third parties, under special conditions - Other functionalities and partnerships
