What student card?
The student card is also the membership card of the student union. So when you order the official student card you also join Student Union JAMKO. With a valid student card, a student can prove their studentship in a university of applied sciences and the membership of their student union, therefore gaining the benefits associated with membership. Members can verify their membership with the physical JAMKO-card and membership sticker, or they can upload a digital student card.
Who can get it?
Membership can be granted for student who is studying a Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree in JAMK UAS as an attending student. A student of Open UAS, study paths or Professional Teacher training, or a student pursuing any other non-degree education can get JAMKO’s green membership. The green membership entitles you to almost all the same benefits as the regular membership, except for the national student benefits, like Kela’s meal subsidy or student discounts for VR, Matkahuolto and local transport.
Price and validity of the membership
The membership is valid either for a semester or for the whole academic year, according to your preference. The membership can only be purchased within the same academic year. The membership sticker is attached to the physical card to indicate the validity and that the student has paid the membership fee for the current term. The sticker can be retrieved from JAMKO’s membership service. Members can also verify their membership with the digital student card. Your membership information is updated automatically on the digital card.
Joining, ordering the card and payment is done in JAMKO’s webshop at Kide.app, the sticker can be collected from JAMKO’s membership service.
