Collecting student card or sticker
For new members JAMKO sends an email to inform when student card is ready to be collected.
Old members who have renewed the membership online are able to collect the sticker right away. Student card must be brought along to collect the sticker; the membership stickers are not handed out without the card! The receipt of the membership payment is also good to have with, because it might take a while to update the payment information to the JAMKO system.
Getting the student card or membership sticker to another city
A student, who temporarily lives in another city for example due to practical training, can send the student card, receipt of the payment and return envelope with return address and a stamp to JAMKO office after he/she has renewed the membership online. JAMKO will hten send back student card with valid sticker.
For new members JAMKO can not send student cards, since the ID of the receiver needs to be checked.

Do you have a student card from another applied sciences student union?
Because the student card is the member card of a certain student union, it must be renewed when changing between schools. You can’t get a membership sticker from JAMKO to a card that belongs to another student union. If you are changing your study place inside JAMK you do not have to renew your membership or card.
