How to log in to the Information System (IS)
After enrolling on your study program, you can log in to the MU IS at https://is.muni.cz using your university number (UČO) and password.
You will already have received your UČO during enrolment. This will accompany you throughout your studies; and don’t worry, you will soon be able to write it backwards.
You set your password when you registered online. Keep it a secret and don’t give it to anyone! Any operation performed on the basis of entering your password is considered to be unambiguously authenticated and has binding validity, similar to operations performed in person or in writing at the administrative departments of the faculty and university.
