ID card for accessing SDU's buildings

When do I need an ID card?

You will need an ID card for all locked doors where a card reader is located.
The doors are locked outside of the University’s normal opening hours.

SDU has a common electronic acces control system. The pupose is to increase security and simplify the administration of access to SDU's buildings.

As a rule, the exterior doors will be open:

Monday trough Friday between 7.00 a.m. - 5.00 p.m.

If you require access outside of opening hours, you must use your card.

You are encouraged to always have your ID card (= student card) handy, as some areas on campus are always locked.
