Everyone must have an access card
Everyone affiliated to the University of Oslo for more than three months must have their own access card with name and photo. This applies to both students, ph.d. candidates, employees and guests. The access card serves as identification when you are at UiO. Carry the card with you. It must be presented to security personell upon request. The card is personal. It is not permitted to lend it or transfer it to others in any way.
Other uses of the card
Access and keys
Which premises you should have access to and whether you need keys, is handled by the administration of the units. Please contact your closest manager or student information for further assistance. For other enquires about access cards, contact the Security Operation Centre.
