Required information/documents

Your matriculation number is only required if you wish to register for an MAS programme. When first enrolling at a Swiss university-level institution, every person is issued his or her own matriculation number (student registration number). This eight-digit number (e.g. 15-458-791) is stated on a yellow sticker on the original of the university admission qualifying certificate. If you do not have your own matriculation number, you may note this in the registration process.
Swiss social security number
If you live or work in Switzerland, you will find your Swiss social security number (756 ... ) on your AHV pension card or health insurance card.

To be able to create your HSLU-Card, we will need a sharp, high-contrast passport-quality picture in which your face is clearly visible. No other people or items must appear in the photo.
