Caixa Geral de Depósitos - CGD is the partner bank of Iscte in issuing student cards.

The card is important in the student's academic life. It is used to mark attendance in classes (this function is not yet active in Iscte-Sintra), to identify the student in the concessionaires that provide lunches and dinners at social prices agreed with Iscte, to allow access to libraries and to request books, to allow access to the campus outside normal opening hours, among others.

The card can associate a bank account or not. It is up to the student to decide if he/she wants the card to have a banking function. The students who want it, but don't have an account with CGD, can now open one.

• The provisional card is delivered active

• The definitive card is activated by the student in Fénix+ (see ‘where to activate’)

• If the card passes ‘red’ in the room readers for more than three days, the student must check that:
  • the card is active (see Fénix+)
  • if so, report the anomaly to admissions@iscte-iul.pt with the day, time and room in which it occurred
  • inform the professor of the situation

• If the card passes ‘green’, but the student does not have a record of the pick in Fenix+, it must be confirmed that:
  • attendance has been recorded in the correct room
  • attendance has been taken up to 15 minutes before or after the time of the lesson
  • the professor has already posted the summary
  • these conditions are cumulative
