Student identity card as key card

As a student at Aarhus University, you have access to all buildings on campus during normal opening hours. Outside opening hours, you can enter specific buildings by using your student identity card as a key card, provided that the ID card has been activated as such. See a list of the relevant buildings (find location on AU building map).

Activation: If you want to use your student ID card as a key card to Aarhus University's buildings, please complete and submit the online form below. Normally your card will be activated within 3 days. You will not receive an e-mail about this, but you can check with the local Building Services staff.* At the start of the university year, however, it may take up to one week for the card to be activated.

Reactivation and changes: After activation, the card is valid as key card for 2 years. If you wish to continue using your student ID card as a key card beyond this period, you must apply for reactivation using the form again. You can no longer choose your own PIN code for your Student ID. You can autogenerate a new one on pinkode.au.dk, which is send to your AU mail (post.au.dk).

PLEASE NOTE: If your access card doesn’t work, try to order a new pin code at pinkode.au.dk. Often, the problem will be caused by the pin code. If your card still doesn’t work, you can contact your local Building Services staff.

Access to other facilities: For further information please contact your local department secretariat.
