Virtual UNIPI Badge

From the academic year 2025-2026, a virtual badge has been introduced for all UNIPI students.

All Unipi students will find their virtual badge, with a photo and QR Code that will “identify” them as students of the University of Pisa, in the ‘ID’ section of the Academic Agenda.

The transition from the “student card” to the digital badge has been facilitated by the input from DSU, which, for access to catering services from 2025-2026, will activate an app instead of the “physical” card.

From the day after your enrollment, you will be able to access DSU Toscana catering points simply by showing a valid ID and providing your student ID number at the register.

Soon, the new MyDsu APP will be available, allowing you to access simply by scanning the QR code.
