 CU Point

Newsletter

 for International Students

 

Dear Students,

In the last newsletter of the year, we would like to share with you as usual several new events, workshops, and seminars.

We are working on improving our services. You can look forward to the launch of the Portal for Student and Employee ID Cards towards the end of this year. You will be able to renew your ISIC/ALIVE licences online associated with your CU student card. In addition, new students will be able to order their new CU student cards or to deactivate or reactivate their CU student cards. We will keep you updated on the launch of the portal during December, so keep an eye on our social media.

Wishing you a wonderful holiday season filled with peace, happiness, and success.
