Application, activation and blocking

For enrolled students

Once you have enrolled, your CampusCard will be produced automatically. We will inform you of this by e-mail. If you do not receive this e-mail, please check whether a picture is stored in eCampus.

Newly issued cards for students require a photo as a security feature. The picture is uploaded to eCampus (login with UniAccount, then go to "My studies" -> "Student services" -> "CampusCard picture"). Cards that have already been issued remain valid even without a picture.

The card is sent to the address stored in eCampus. If the address is abroad, the card will not be sent, but you can collect it from the IT helpdesk.
You can update your address in eCampus (login with UniAccount, then go to "My studies" > "Student services" > "Contact details").

Go directly to eCampus here.

The first card is always free of charge.
Once you have received your CampusCard, you will need to activate it online.

For employees

It only takes a minute to order the CampusCard for employees. Go to the following website:

If you do not wish to use the University Library, you have the option of switching off the library function when setting up your CampusCard.

The shipping address is pre-filled as "at home". Please enter your office address here when sending to the service address. You can enter a different delivery address if you wish.

Finally, click on "Send request".

Your CampusCard will be sent to the address provided after a few days.

 

Before you can use the card, it must be activated online. Please follow the instructions.
