Your student identity card is your identification when you are on campus or need to document that you are enrolled at Aarhus University. Especially at exams it is important that you bring your identity card and you can also use it to get student discounts at museums, cinemas etc. The ID card also functions as a keycard and gives you access to buildings outside normal hours.
At the beginning of your studies at AU it is important that you get a personal student ID card. It is only possible to get the card after you have been enrolled at AU and hence have been assigned a personal matriculation number. Enrolment of students is an ongoing process that starts after the application deadline.
To receive a student ID card you need to submit a photo through the https://mitstudie.au.dk/en.
Please note that you cannot order a student ID card until you have been enrolled and have been assigned your student number. You will not be assigned a student number immediately after being admitted and confirming your student place, but only after you have been enrolled. Enrollments take place on an ongoing basis until commencement of studies.
When you have been enrolled, you can see your student number on https://mitstudie.au.dk/en. Here your student number will be under your profile menu at the top.
After submitting a photo, you will normally receive the student identity card by mail after 1-2 weeks, but in busy periods (around commencement of studies) it might take longer.
