First-year students will receive their student certificates before September 1

The Lithuanian Students' Union informs that first-year students who hurry to order Lithuanian student certificates (LSP) will receive them before September 1. Starting this year, not only the date of the end of studies, but also the start date will be written on the certificate, so if students hurry to order the certificates, they will receive them before the beginning of the academic year.

"Previously, we could issue certificates only from the first day of September, because that's when student status is officially acquired. It was inconvenient for the students, because they could not use the privileges they were entitled to from the beginning of the academic year. We solved this problem by writing the date of its validity on the certificate - the first day of September of the current year. Therefore, first-year students will be able to pick up their certificates as soon as they are produced, and they will be able to start using the discounts as soon as the academic year begins," says Paulius Baltokas, president of the Students' Union.

Mr. Baltokas urges young people who will start their studies to hurry up and order LSP, without waiting for the beginning of the school year. "Freshmen should be alert and order LSP as soon as they sign a contract with the university. We also encourage higher education institutions to enter data on new students into the Student Register as soon as possible, since we can only produce certificates after receiving the student's order and confirmation of studies from the register. This is particularly relevant for first-year students who want to use transport benefits and other discounts from the very beginning of the academic year," says P. Baltokas.

We remind you that full-time students with a valid LSP are subject to 80% of tuition fees. discount when purchasing a timed travel ticket in the city public transport and 50%. discount when purchasing a one-time city, suburban or intercity ticket. LSP is used as access control in high school dormitories, libraries, canteens and during exams or other settlements.
