University card

The University Smart Card (known as the TUI)

Within the framework of the Spanish University Rectors’ Conference (CRUE) and with support from Banco Santander, the Universidade de Vigo offers a mobile app providing a multi-service platform for the university community.

One of the app’s functions is to issue the University Smart Card (TUI in the AppCRUE). This card accredits you as a student, teacher, or admin or service worker at the Universidade de Vigo and includes other high value functions for the university community.

• Library book loans
• Access to restricted-use facilities

How to obtain the TUI

To apply for the university smart card, you must meet one of the following requirements:

• Be enrolled on an official course at the Universidade de Vigo (undergraduate, official master, or doctoral programme, etc.).
• Be enrolled on one of the university’s own qualifications for 30 credits or more, or of a duration that is equal to or longer than a full academic year.
• Have a current job contract at the Universidade de Vigo

If you meet any of the above requirements, you should take the following steps:

• Check that you have a user account at the Virtual Office. There, you can access your account or create one if you do not have one already. If you cannot recover your access details, you can ask at the students’ secretarial office at your centre for your electronic address to be updated.
• Check the issuance of your card. In the ‘My Account’ -> ‘University Cards’ section of the virtual office, you will find a list of the TUI cards issued and you can check the details that will be used for the new card.
• Download the AppCRUE application. It can be downloaded on Android or IOS systems.
• Go to one of the issuing points on your campus (Ourense, Pontevedra, As Lagoas, Marcosende, and Vigo city). There, they will take your photograph and give you your TUI in a few minutes.
