The student card is ordered by registration on the Frank webpage.
It is possible to access the student card either through a phone app or to order a plastic student card (with or without payment function).
You can order your card once you have registered as present and the data has been transferred from Hanken's study register Sisu to Frank – this regularly takes place during the summer months but at the latest before the Orientation Days.
If you try to register through the Frank webpage and you receive a message concerning unknown student status, you do not need to be alarmed. The message only indicates that the registration info for the academic year has not yet been transferred to the Frank system and you can try again in a few days.
You need to attach a digital photo of yourself when you order the card. The photo does not need to be a passport photo, but you need to be easily identifiable in the photo.
If you order a plastic student card you need to pick up an annual registration sticker from the Student Union office in Helsinki or at the Office of Studies and Admission in Vaasa for the card to be valid.
