Application Process:
After finalizing your registration with the school, you should apply for an Academic ID. To do that you go to https://academicid.minedu.gov.gr/. You can switch to English by clicking the flag (top right of the page). Next, click “Registration/Login” in the top right corner.
Select “UnderGraduate Student”. From the dropdown menu, choose “Aristotle University of Thessaloniki” and press login.
You login using the username and password you have for your academic email for AUSoM.
You will have to verify your email address, and an email will be sent with a link to continue the process. All of the emails sent to you about your ID will start with the subject [MINEDU - ACADEMIC ID].
Then, just fill out the application. You will have to choose the store where you want to pick the card up. You can look up the addresses on Google Maps in comparison to your apartment or to school so that you can get it from a location convenient to you.
You will receive an email when the application is submitted, which will look like this:
Application Approval and Picking Up ID:
I submitted the application on the 29th of September, and received an email on the 2nd of October that my application had been approved. However, depending on when you send in the application and the time period, it may take a few days, so don’t stress. This email will look almost identical to the submission one. I also received a text message informing me.
Then, on the 11th of October I received another email (and SMS) about my ID being ready for pick up:
So, make sure that you check the hours of operation of your distribution site, and then make your way there whenever you can to pick up your ID.
Make sure you have these things with you to pick up your ID!
- Your ID/passport
- Your submission code that you received in the first email upon submission
If you face any problems you can reach out to a member of the IMSoG board or go to the school secretary’s office and we will do it together.
