Student's notebook

What is a student handbook?

The student booklet is otherwise known as the student index – a property of the student, a booklet in which the entire course of their studies is documented. It includes the student’s photo, their details, the field of study they are studying and all the grades they managed to obtain in exams. There are also recorded all the information about remedial sessions, retaken subjects and Thanksgiving holidays.

Why are fewer and fewer universities using the index?

More and more universities are abandoning the paper recording and storage of students' grades. This is linked to security. The index could easily be lost, whereas the grades entered into the computer system are easy to control. Besides, entering the grades into the index often involved searching for a lecturer. Students had a problem if a given lecturer did not show up at the university or was on leave; then they could not get the required entry. The grades are entered into the system remotely. The lecturer can do it himself, even at home; all he needs to do is log in to the system.

Index – a beautiful reminder of youth

Although booklets are becoming less popular, universities offer the opportunity to purchase them. Students who choose to purchase an index and collect their grades think more about a memento for years to come than about the written proof of passing their exams. The index commemorates the entire study period, the effort put into passing it, and preserves memories from their youth. Those who cannot boast of owning an index can start collecting ELS holograms, which can also evoke memories of their student years.
