Keys and passes
As an employee at Linnaeus University, you will need a pass, and in some cases keys. Your pass can be registered for use at all university sites. This card is also used for printing and as a library card.
The Office of Facilities Management and Services is responsible for structure, safety and coordination matters concerning keys and passes. The administrative work is handled by different internal actors at Linnaeus University.
University keys can be ordered via the Office of Facilities Management and Services’ Health and Safety Coordinator. Your immediate manager will fill out the order form or use this link.
You can order a pass yourself through the pass self-service portal. Your pass can be used in all locations where the University has facilities. The pass can also be used with the MFP machines (copy machines) for printing, and also as a library card at the university libraries.
The University’s Health and Safety Coordinators are in charge of matters related to passes and keys. They can be contacted using the email address at the bottom of this page.
Creating your pass
The pass has multiple uses. You can order the pass using the self-service portal once you have been registered in Primula and have received your LNU account.
1. Go to https://lnukortet.lnu.se/ and log in using your LNU account.
2. Click "Order pass" and follow the instructions.
3. The order takes up to three days to process. You can then pick up your card at the Info Centre at the location you selected during the order process. You need to bring a valid ID when picking up your pass.
Non-employees
Guests, trainees and other external persons who do not use Primula cannot order passes themselves. Their orders are placed using the same form as the one used to order keys.

Train journeys between the cities
Work at Linnaeus University takes place in both Kalmar and Växjö. In order to facilitate your work travel, your employer will give you a travel document which is valid for train journeys between the two cities.
You travel document functions as a train ticket from Kalmar to Växjö and vice versa, for travelling in 2nd class without seat reservation with Öresundståg, Krösatåg and SJ Regional trains. The travel document is valid during weekdays and is issued annually (from January-December). The document does not cover bus tickets.
If you need to travel further than the regular route, for example from Kalmar to Malmö, you only need a train ticket for the route between Växjö-Malmö.
You can read more about travel documents for train journeys between Kalmar and Växjö on the related page under Support and service.
