Slice student card

​

 

You can use your Slices student card as follows:

​

1. Join O'Diakon or renew your membership on the Kide.app. If you already have an existing membership, check that your details are up to date in the Kide.app. Log in and click on the pencil behind your membership. In particular, check that your email address and student number are up to date, as Slice will use them to search your details in the membership register.
2. Download the Slice.fi app from the App Store or Google Play.
3. It takes about 3 working days to get your membership approved. Once your membership has been approved, you can sign up for your account and upload your student card photo here. If you do not have a school email in your membership records, you can enter a personal email address in that field. If your ID does not appear, please also check your spam. Be sure to accept the terms and conditions of the application and provide the permissions needed to use your student card.​

​

​

Plastic student cards can no longer be ordered, but stickers will be issued on existing cards as usual. To obtain a sticker, please contact us at info@odiako.fi

Information saved about the student

Sticker on a plastic card

The sticker will be collected from the O'Diakon office (Helsinki) when the membership is paid. The student card must be present when applying for the sticker. An O'Diakos member can also receive the sticker by post by sending the address to info(at)odiako.fi.
​

​

If a plastic card is lost

If you lose your card, you can get a free digital student card to replace it. It is no longer possible to order new plastic cards.

If the lost card was a payment card, please contact the bank that provided the payment facility immediately to avoid misuse of your card. O'Diako is not able to cancel lost payment cards.

 

​

If your name changes and you have a plastic car

If your name changes, please let us know at info(at)odiako.fi. Please indicate both your new and old name. We do not receive information about name changes automatically.

​

 

If you change your name, we recommend that you get a new digital student card to replace it. If you wish, you can also get a sticker on the card with your old name, but O'Diako is not responsible if a discount provider does not grant a discount because of the old name on the card.

​

Membership fees and student card validity

Membership fees and membership dates are available on the Kide.app.

Validity dates apply to O'Diako membership, Slices digital student card and plastic student card sticker.

A handling fee of €5 will be charged for any refund of fees. You can find the cancellation conditions for membership fees below.

 

Transfer of membership and resignation

 

Transfer of membership
​

If you take a gap year from your studies, i.e. you are absent for a semester or a school year, you can transfer your O'Diako membership to continue when you return to your studies.

​

Please note that failure to pick up your sticker will not be considered as a transfer of membership, but will be automatically valid for the period of time paid.
​

You can transfer your membership by notifying the Student Union in writing (email info(at)odiako.fi).​If a student is absent for the autumn semester or the whole year, the notification must be made by 30 September. If a student is absent for the spring semester, the notification must be made by 31 January.
 

Membership rights can no longer be transferred if a semester or year sticker is glued to the student card. Please note that currently only the electronic Slice serves as the O'Diako membership ID. It is no longer possible to obtain a plastic card as an O'Diakon membership ID.
