Instructions for Online Enrolment
How to complete your online enrolment
You can enrol once you have provided proof of completed secondary education and received your admission decision.
1. In your e-application, you will find the “Enrol in the programme” button.
2. After clicking this button, you will be redirected to a new page, where you must tick the following three mandatory confirmation boxes:
a. Confirmation of your consent to enrolment in the study programme
b. Confirmation that you have control over your password
c. Confirmation that you have read and understood the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) instructions
Once you have ticked all three boxes and clicked the “Enrol” button, your enrolment will be confirmed on the next page.
3.Below the confirmation message stating “Enrolment completed successfully”, you will find a very important number – your UČO (University Personal Identification Number). Make sure you remember and write down this number, as you will use it throughout your studies at Masaryk University.
You will need it to log in to the MU Information System (IS MU). You can access the system by clicking the “Log in to IS MU” button, which you will find directly below the enrolment confirmation.
4. By clicking the “Log in to IS MU” button, you will be taken to a page where you can set your temporary password. If you have previously studied at Masaryk University and already have a UČO (University Personal Identification Number), you should log in using your existing primary password.
5.Once you have set your own password, you can log in to IS MU. For the time being, your status will be displayed as “Identity not yet verified”, which will be clearly indicated on every page of IS MU. More about this step in the box below.
How to proceed with identification
After registering online, you must identify yourself. The “identification” process will take place online using the Identitaobcana.cz portal.
After logging in to the MU IS, you will see a request for identification on the title page, the “Verify identity” button.
Complete the identification process as soon as possible as you will not be able to download the electronic study certificate yourself without the identification.
How to proceed when providing a photograph
After enrolling for your studies online you will need to provide a photograph, which will be used to process identification cards, which in most cases will be ISIC cards. Ownership of an identification card is one of the requirements of MU students, so don’t forget to order it through the Shopping Centre.
- You can use your own photo. You can insert it according to the instructions using this application in INET.
- You can come to take a photo physically during the office hours set aside for photography. Book a date for the photo shoot through the reservation system.

Almost all administration at our faculty can be completed online via the MU Information System (we call it the IS). Course registration, registration for exams, confirmation of study, communication with teachers, download of study materials - you can do it all from any computer. The MU IS is very intuitive.
How to log in to the Information System (IS)
After enrolling on your study program, you can log in to the MU IS at https://is.muni.cz using your university number (UČO) and password.
You will already have received your UČO during enrolment. This will accompany you throughout your studies; and don’t worry, you will soon be able to write it backwards.
You set your password when you registered online. Keep it a secret and don’t give it to anyone! Any operation performed on the basis of entering your password is considered to be unambiguously authenticated and has binding validity, similar to operations performed in person or in writing at the administrative departments of the faculty and university.

Student ID card
Every MU student must have a student ID card, which can serve as a chip card within the university and, in the case of an ISIC card, will also allow you to receive a range of student discounts.
The card can be ordered in the Shopping Centre in the MU IS (OC):
- Full-time students can order a full ISIC card (CZK 250),
- Students of combined studies can only order a student card (120 CZK).
Once the card is issued, students will receive instructions for collection via e-mail. The card can only be issued once the correct amount for the card has been credited to the MU account (OC-My orders).
