Access cards

Access card regulations

The access card is to be treated as a valuable document – a key that grants you access to University premises. As a card holder you are responsible for keeping the card and your pincode from falling into the wrong hands. Please note that the card cannot be used as identification outside premises of Halmstad University.

The access card is only working in the facilities you have access to, which is depending on which education you are studying. If you have any questions regarding the access card or are having problems entering a room or building you should have access to, please contact IT support via Helpdesk.

As a card holder, you are obliged to follow these regulations:

• do not disclose your PIN code to any unauthorized person(s),
• do not lend your campus card to others,
• do not use the card in violation with current law,
  
• keep the access card and PIN code separate as well as making sure your access card and PIN code are kept in a safe place,
• immediately notify Helpdesk or contact Service Center if your campus card is mislaid, or if your PIN code has fallen into the hands of any unauthorized person(s). In case of mislaid cards (not wear and tear) a fee of 50 SEK will be charged,
• upon request, show your access card to security guards and / or other members of staff,
• return an expired card to the Service Center and
• follow Halmstad University's rules regarding the use of premises.

Infringement of these rules can imply that your card will be blocked by the University.
