Before starting your studies, make sure to register for your timetable activities in the STAG information system.

IS/STAG is an information system designed to electronically manage your STudy AGenda at UHK. It facilitates a wide range of functions from the admissions procedure to the award of a degree. You can use it to manage your study programmes, courses, study plans and student mobility, or to enroll in courses, apply for exams, write assessments, set timetables, and do much more. 

This is the primary system for recording studies and related areas. A MediaWiki page is available as a user guide and signpost. The site includes, among other things, information about the faculty IS/STAG consultants who can help with problems. For new users, there is a methodological material First Steps in the Portal which is mainly focused on the roles of teachers (e.g., timetable and courses, publishing of examination dates, entering grades and credits, mass emails, etc.).

Logging into STAG 

The system is available at stag.uhk.cz sign in with your login details. Your username is the first 5 letters of your surname and 2 letters from your given name + 1 digit (e.g. surnana1) which you will receive after being admitted, in an email asking you to submit your application for a UHK ID card.

More in IT users Guide

More detailed information about all STAG features can be found in the manual.

To keep all important study information at your fingertips, the IS STAG Mobile app will come in handy.

One of the things that you definitely cannot live without at UHK is your UHK Student Card. It comes in the form of an ID chip card. Let’s call it an ID Card. 

Your ID Card gives you access to a wide range of services. Use it to print and copy documents, borrow books, establish your identity, and access UHK buildings and lockers. 

Your ID Card will be handed to you after your arrival, make sure to keep it safe! 

More about ID cards

UHK has several service centers and they are there to help you with anything and everything that might bother you, like copying, printing, logging into the system, recovering forgotten passwords, topping your ID Card with credit, etc.

UHK Servis Center (Building A)

Service centrer FF UHK (Building B)

You’ll get your login details at the orientation lecture or sooner. The Wi-Fi network at UHK is connected to the international Eduroam (name of the wi‑fi) project, which is covered by the CESNET Association. To log in to the computer network, you will need the same login details – your username and password that you use to access the STAG information system.

To connect to Wi-Fi in UHK buildings, use the eduroam network. Log in using your secondary account, which is intended exclusively for this purpose.

You can create the account only when connected to UHK’s internal network, for example from computers in UHK computer labs or libraries, via the portal: https://wifi.uhk.cz/.

 

Instructions for creating a secondary account and connecting to the eduroam network

All UHK students have the opportunity to use the MS Office 365 package free of charge. It contains:

  • Outlook – Practical e-mail client
  • OneDrive – 1,000 GB online file storage provider – editing documents on-line in Word or Excel 
  • SharePoint – Sharing documents online
  • MS Teams – Online communication app

Microsoft office 365

Doctoral students are required to set up multifactor authentication (MFA) within 3 days of starting at UHK for access to selected Microsoft 365 applications and services. It is recommended to use the Microsoft Authenticator app for MFA, which can be installed on both work and personal mobile phones. A guide is available on how to use multifactor authentication. The security of user accounts is governed by Rector’s Decree No. 05/2025.

Moodle (courses)

The Moodle system at kurzy.uhk.cz is an educational system containing electronic courses with materials, tests, support for assignment submission and other possible activities for individual subjects taught at the UHK. Access to the courses is usually obtained automatically on the basis of enrolment in the Student Agenda (STAG).

The FIM UHK uses the online platform Blackboard to support teaching.

For more information on both platforms, including guides, recommendations and links to contact persons, please visit the IT helpdesk here.

Several self-service printers are available across the university. They can also scan documents and send them to your email. To use these services, you need a valid UHK student ID card with sufficient credit. After logging in, you can find detailed instructions in the manual on where and how to copy, print for a fee, or scan free of charge.

Topping up your card

You can add credit to your card at the service centres in Buildings A and B, where the minimum top-up amount is CZK 20, or at the top-up station on the first floor of Building A next to the printer, where the minimum amount is CZK 100.

It is better to top up smaller amounts, as any unused balance on the card is non-refundable.

Some UHK students don’t just want to go to classes and then straight home. They become members of a number of students organisations and they organise lectures, trips, discussions, film screenings, exhibitions, parties and many other activities. For you the most important one will be ESN Hradec Králové
Throughout the semester ESN organizes numerous events that students and buddies can attend in. For detailed information, please refer to the ESN event calendar available on the official website esnhk.cz.
