Swipe card

Once you are registered on a course or programme, you are entitled to obtaining a swipe card that you can use to enter the university’s facilities outside of normal opening hours.

The swipe card can also be used to enter the university’s public computer rooms, for printing, and as a library card at the University Library. Furthermore, the card gives you access to the library during the self-service opening hours.

You can order your card through our website. To be able to order, you must have obtained your student account. Once you have received your swipe card, it must be activated before you can use it.
