You can get an access card for AAU, which only works for a short period. This is relevant if, for example, you are a craftsman and have to carry out a piece of work at the university for a shorter period of time (up to a month's duration), or need access to locked areas. The card is acquired through the department that ordered the work and is issued by the local Facility Support team.

The card is assigned a PIN code in advance, which you will receive when the card is issued. A guest card does not have an image printed on it and therefore cannot be used as an ID card, but simply as an access card.
