Entering ITMO University

In 2018, ITMO University began to issue the ITMO.FAMILY campus card that aims to simplify many processes that happen within the university.

It’s a bank card that you can use to enter ITMO buildings and receive your stipend or salary.

Campus cards are issued to recently enrolled students every September according to a schedule. All updates on the schedule are published on the ITMO.STUDENTS website and on social media. Make sure to have your passport with you when picking up your card. After the end of the period stated in the schedule, the ITMO.FAMILY campus card can be picked up at the Bank St. Petersburg Primorsky branch: Bolshaya Zelenina St. 8-2, near metro station Chkalovskaya. 

If you lose your card, you have to contact the bank’s customer support service to disable the old card and issue a new one.

You can currently use a QR code to gain entry at four ITMO University campuses: Lomonosova St. 9, Kronverksky Pr. 49, Grivtsova Lane 14-16, and Tchaikovskogo St. 11/2. 

You can generate the code in ISU or via the ITMO.STUDENTS app (App Store and Google Play). 

You can link your pass to any card: 

• Student travel card
• Permanent ITMO pass
• Bank card

You can link your card at ITMO’s Physical Security Department.

Place your screen at 10-15 cm from the scanner. It will work most efficiently this way and will not interact with your phone’s NFC feature.

The QR code both in ISU and in the app is generated for 1 entrance and 1 exit only. Consequently, after exiting the university, you will need to either tap “Back” in the app and open the Pass tab again, or refresh the ISU page.
