After the ceremony
The Coaching team stays with you until your section’s welcome!
Do not worry about paying your first meal on campus. EPFL is offering a meal voucher worth 10 Swiss francs, which will be loaded directly onto your Camipro card (student card).
- There’s no need to validate your card at a Camipro Infoterminal for this.
- This amount will only be visible at the cash registers and won’t appear on the EPFL Campus application or the MyCamipro website.
- You can use this voucher at all eateries on campus that accept Camipro payments (self-service areas, restaurants, food trucks).
- This voucher is valid from 6 September 2024 to 6 October 2024.
