For Freshmen

First semester at the FIT BUT?
Don´t worry, we're here to help you!

Enrolment

  • Enrolment to study

    Have you met all the admission requirements? Congratulations! It's only by enrolling that you become a regular student of the FIT.

    To be able to enrol, you must provide an officially authenticated copy of your school-leaving certificate. This document can be submitted in electronic form via the electronic application form or in paper form to the FIT BUT Study Department after authorized conversion of the document. You cannot be enrolled without providing a proof of secondary education nostrification clause.

  • Entrollment

    Enrolment is primarily electronic in the e-application environment. You must enroll between July 1, 2025 and July 3, 2025.

    In-person enrolment will take place on July 4, 2025 from 9 a.m. at the Study Department (C109).

  • Enrollment in person

    In extraordinary circumstances, you can attend the in-person enrollment on 17th June 2025 9 AM at the FIT Study Department, Božetěchova 2. You will need to have an identity card (other identity document, passport).

    If you cannot enroll in person, you can be enrolled by an authorised representative. The representative must present the authorization containing your name, address and the number of the representative's identity card. The authorization must be signed by both you and the representative.

  • Additional dates

    Additional enrolment dates will take place in July and September. Detailed information will be communicated by messages in the e-application and on the faculty's website for applicants.

  • Accommodation in dormitories

    If you want to live in the dorms, you must book a place as soon as possible. Reservations for housing start before enrollment. Once you have learned in your e-applications that you have been accepted to study at FIT, you will be given access to the BUT information system and the BUT KaM system. The application process will begin June 12, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. and the selection of a specific room will begin on July 17, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. Detailed instructions can be found here or on the KaM website.

After enrolment

  • Freshman Handbook

    Read the Freshman Handbook at FIT immediately after enrolling. It will give you the essential information you need to get a good start in your studies. As soon as possible, create your login details for the BUT Information System (BUT IS). In the handbook, you will also learn about special faculty accounts that have different login details than the BUT IS.

  • Student IDs

    Another important step is ordering your student identity card. On this page you can upload your photo and choose whether you want only a “BUT student card” or an ISIC student card. Order your card on time (preferably by the end of July)! For more information on ID cards and picking them up, please refer to the Freshman Handbook.

Start of the semester

  • Start@FIT

    In the last week before the start of classes, from Thursday, September 11, 2025 to Sunday, September 14, 2025, there will be an event Start@FIT 2025 organized by the FIT Student Union. The event includes important training sessions that will explain in detail how the information system works, how to register your schedule and much more. During the event you will collect your student ID. There will also be plenty of activities to get to know Brno, the faculty, the lecturers, but most importantly your new colleagues. Participation is strongly recommended! Don't forget to keep an eye on the event website in early September so you don't miss anything from the programme.

    If you can't attend right from Thursday, we recommend you at least watch these videos, which cover the most important information from the introductory training sessions. You will be able to pick up your student IDs at the Student Services Office. The Start@FIT event includes a matriculation ceremony for new students. They will take place on Friday 12 September 2025 and attendance is compulsory.

  • Courses

    You will be automatically entrolled into all compulsory courses. Before the start of classes, you can view the courses you will be taking in the winter semester in the information system and register for electives if necessary. Registration for electives will run from 12 September 2025 until the end of the first week of classes. Learn more about the courses in the Freshman Handbook and at the introductory training sessions during Start@FIT

  • Elective courses

Additional Information

Student Advisory and Student Union

You can find more information on the student counselling page. We recommend that you check the list of tasks that all first-year student should remember.

If you have any questions or concerns, you can also contact the Student Union of FIT. SU FIT is a group of students interested in the goings-on at FIT. The group participates in the decision-making of the faculty and represents the students. In addition, it organises many smaller and larger leisure events including Start@FIT and runs the student club U Kachničky.

Note for students who are not new at BUT

Students who have studied at BUT before need not (and in fact cannot) set their BUTpassword. The password they used most recently remains valid. In addition, their previous faculty account is only reactivated. If a student has a student identity card (from any faculty), he/she need not order a new card. The identity card is activated at the time of enrolment; for the identity card to be used as proof of study, it is necessary to have the validation stamp glued to it at the Study Department. The ISIC validation stamp should be ordered at the BUT portal, whereas the BUT validation stamp can be collected in person. The BUT stamp can also be used to validate ISIC, thus reducing it to a BUT card.
