Tasks after Graduation
Student Status
The student status expires on the day the last part of the State Final Exam (SFE) is passed.
Without the official student status, the following cease to apply:
- Student discounts (fare tickets, student bank accounts, canteens, and other benefits); however, the ISIC card remains active for some discounts until the end of the calendar year.
- ISIC/UCT Prague identification card for entry & school login data: available a few more days after the FSE. Arranging forwarding e-mails, downloading documents, etc. on time is recommended.
Student status is renewed on the day of enrollment in the next study or the next level of study (master's, doctoral).
What do I need to arrange?
Exit clearance form (ECF)
To properly finish your studies, you must submit the UCT Prague Exit Clearance Form (ECF – see documents below) to your study officer before the diploma is issued. It contains confirmations from various university departments (in the form of a stamp or an attached e-mail).
- The department where you completed your thesis: Return all borrowed items (often including keys), clear the assigned space, fulfil the agreed work, etc. The Exit Clearance Form is signed by the head of the department or the department's secretariat.
- National Library of Technology: Return all books, and settle the registered account. The ECF is handled by the library cash register.
- UCT Prague computer center: Balance the account on your ISIC/UCT Prague card (top-up payment/refund). The ECF is handled by a representative of the Computer Center (ground floor of building B, BS82).
- Dormitories: Students accommodated in UCT Prague dorms should follow the instructions of the Administration of University Facilities. Students accommodated elsewhere submit an affidavit confirming they never lived in UCT Prague dorms. The ECF is handled by the Accommodation Office (Sázava dormitory). Eviction dates depend on the accommodation contract, which can be extended until the end of August if necessary. Interest in accommodation while continuing follow-up studies must be reported to the Accommodation Office; AUF will provide further information.
- General practitioner (except SoB students): Confirmation of completion of the exit examination by a doctor, or a copy of the entrance examination from the follow-up study application.
Residence Permit (non-EU citizens)
- If you plan to stay in the Czech Republic and seek job opportunities, you must exchange your residence permit for "study" for a "seeking employment" residence permit. Visit the official website of the Ministry of Interior for instructions.
- If you decide to leave the Czech Republic permanently, return your residence permit card. Visit the official website of the Ministry of Interior for instructions.
Keep in touch with the university! – Alumni Club
The UCT Prague Alumni Club brings together UCT Prague graduates and friends. It aims to create a mutual communication platform between the university, alumni, and current students.
The Club encourages the development of professional contacts for job seeking or establishing new collaborations with the university or among club members. Membership also comes with other benefits – invitations to the university's social, cultural, or sports events, opportunities to participate in educational lectures and courses, and consultations in the Counselling and Career Centre.
You can find more information and register on the Alumni Club website.
