Policard

Where to pick it up

The PhD Student Office located at Via Golgi 42, Building 22. You can also email dottor.ricerca@polimi.it to schedule an appointment.

The program's academic office.

How to activate it

Connect to the "Policard Card: activation, status view, reissue request" service available on Online Services and follow the procedure.

When can it be used?

The Policard can be used starting the day after activation. Until then, if you already have another card, you must continue to use the one you already have (e.g., TempPolicard).

In case of loss, theft, or damage,

You can request a new Policard through the "Policard Card: Activation, View Status, Request Reissue" service.

While waiting for your new card, you can request a temporary one (TempPolicard) directly from the office.
