1) As soon as you reach Prague, first and foremost thing is to be able to reach your dormitory. Although most of the people are received by ISC people but just in case no one come to pick you up, the following short description might help
a. Getting Czech Crowns: My suggestion is not to exchange too much Euros or any other currency you are carrying at the airport since you get a really bad price for it. Fifty euros would be more than enough, you can go to the city centre to exchange the rest where you can get good prices.
b. You can buy a public transport ticket at the terminal. Buy 24 CZK (if you are going to Masarykova, Dejvicka or Sinkhuleo) or 32 CZK if you have to go to Strahov. Also, do not forget to buy the luggage ticket.
c. Get out of the terminal and look for the bus stop. Take bus number 119 to Dejvicka. Even people going to Strahov will have to take bus number 119, get off at Dejvicka and then take bus number 143 to Koleje Strahov.
2) Next thing you must do is see your course coordinator and register yourself. You will be handed some document which will enable you to get your official CTU email id and more importantly will enable you to create account for eduroam (free wifi in and near the university area ;))
3) After that you must go to get your transport card and student ID card. Usually student ID card is made the next day as it might take up to one day for you to be enrolled and be in the system. These two things can be done at the office just under the Red Menza. The transport card is valid for all public transport: bus, tram and subway.
4) NTK: It is the national technical library and I would recommend getting membership for it. It offers good study environment and rooms. The registration cost would be 50 CZK for a year.
5) Bank Account: You can open a student bank account at Ceska Sporitelna with no account fee. You will need to present a proof of you being a student to avail that free account.
