LU Card
The LU Card is your personal access card at Lund University. You use it to enter university buildings, borrow library books, and print documents. It may also be used for attendance registration, depending on your course.
What you can use the LU Card for
- As an ID card within the university
- To access buildings and rooms needed for your studies
- As a library card at Lund University libraries
- As a printing card
Please note that the LU Card is not a student discount card.
How to get your LU Card
Before you can get your LU Card, you must be registered on your course. Once registered, follow these steps:
- Visit one of the University's card stations to have your photo taken and verify your identity. Remember to bring valid photo ID.
- Your card will be produced on-site and handed to you directly.
- Your PIN code will be sent to your email. You can also find it on your personal pages on the LU Card website.
Find locations and opening hours of the card stations on the LU Card website.
If you lose your card
If your card is lost or stolen, you should replace it as soon as possible. Once a new card is issued, the old one is automatically blocked.
If you are unable to get a new card within a week, or if your card provides access to sensitive areas or systems, contact the LU Service Desk to block the card.
When you stop studying
When you are no longer a student, your LU card will automatically be deactivated. You do not need to return it, but it will no longer function.
