Access tag/library card

You can pick up your access tag at Student Reception. It is also possible to receive one at the University Library. Access tags are used to enter university premises, borrow books from the library, and for copying and printing. When you receive your access tag, you choose a PIN code that is linked to this tag and which is needed to enter university premises during evenings and weekends.

You are welcome to pick up your access tag prior to the start of the term.
Don't forget to bring your ID card.
