To obtain the Mecenat card via Uppsala Student Union , you must be a member and an active student (i.e. registered on courses or as a doctoral student).

At Uppsala University, the Mecenat card is used not only as a discount card but also as a membership card for Uppsala Student Union. When signing up for membership in the union , the Mecenat card is usually ordered for the next day. You will only have access to the card digitally via the Mecenat app.

‍OBS! Members of Uppsala Student Union who are not currently active students (i.e. not registered on courses or PhD students) will not receive a Mecenat card.

‍Ang. travel discount:
Travel discounts with SL/UL are given to students with a study load of at least 75%. I.e. you must be a full-time program student or registered on independent courses that cover a total of at least 22.5 credits/semester. Doctoral students must have a registered study activity of at least 75% in the previous or current semester. NOTE! For travel with SL and UL, no other study certificate is valid than the Mecenat card (or Student Card). If you do not have either yet, do not buy a student ticket, otherwise you may have to pay a fine.

An invoice is automatically sent out at the beginning of each semester to all those who were members the previous semester. You can then choose to pay it by bank transfer with the OCR number on the bill or by making a direct payment at www.uppsalastudent.com. If you have already paid when the bill arrives, just ignore it.

For active students, we receive new addresses from Uppsala University/Ladok, which in turn retrieves the data from the Swedish Tax Agency. Check your address in Ladok. Members who are not currently active students report their new address directly to the union or nation.

Guest cards are issued by the Curators' Convention and the nations, not by Uppsala Student Union. However, the Curators' Convention's guest card office is located in the Student Union building at Övre Slottsgatan 7 with its own opening hours.
