USP Number and USP Card
At USP, each student receives a personal identification number, known as the USP Number. This number is essential for all official procedures, including course registration, library access, and use of academic portals. Once you have your USP Number, you will also receive your USP Card, which serves as your official student ID. The card is required for accessing various university services such as restaurants (RU), libraries, sports facilities, and some campus buildings. A digital version of the USP Card is available through the e-Card USP app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
Don’t worry, your USP Number and USP Card will be provided to you by the International Office when the time comes.
