One could say that the paper student index is a thing of the past. The largest Polish universities: Warsaw, Jagiellonian, Lodz and Toruń have already forgotten about the existence of paper indexes. There are literally only a few higher education institutions in Poland that still use paper versions of the indexes. These are selective institutions in Lublin – the Polytechnic and the University of the West.
The old student index takes the form of a green booklet that contains basic information about the student, such as: name and surname, father's name, date and place of birth, photo of the student, album number, information about the university, the field of study and the course of studies. There is also the signature of the dean and the text of the oath. In summary, the index confirms the student's presence at the given university. Without a doubt, it is the most characteristic sign of studying.
In recent years, electronic indexes have become increasingly popular. The evaluations are entered by the faculty members into a special system. Through the website, we can write an application, fill out an application or a survey. In addition to the index, student IDs are also updated. The stickers on the student ID are a three-dimensional hologram. In the current technological age, any matter related to studies can be solved using the internet.
