LU Card checks to continue in 2025-2026
The LU Card checks at the entrance to the Kamerlingh Onnes Building (KOG) and the buildings in The Hague will continue in academic year 2025-2026. We aim to guarantee a safe and pleasant work and study environment for all staff and students at the university.
Students
All students must show their LU Card at the entrance to the building.
In case you do not have a LU-Card yet as a (new) student in Leiden? Do not worry, you can also use until Thursday 2 October the following as an entrance check together with a valid ID:
- your programme on the app Universiteit Leiden; or
- status of your application in Studielink.
New students in The Hague can use the following entrance check until Thursday 2 October:
- login to Brightspace + ID card; or
- digital college card + ID card.
From Monday 6 October 2025, all (new) students must show their LU Card. Please be aware that it can take around two weeks to receive the LU card, so apply for it online in good time.
In addition to separate communications sent to students on this matter, we also kindly ask staff and current students to remind new students about this.
What about visitors, events and conferences?
Prior to their arrival, all external visitors to the KOG Building who do not have a LU Card must be registered at the Service Desk. Use this form to do so and specify the date, time, visitor’s name and name of the contact person who will meet the visitor at the Reception. For conferences, Open Days, Student for a Day events and Moot Court sessions, please contact the UFB and send a list of participants to servicedeskKOG@ufb.leidenuniv.nl.
Who checks the LU Cards?
During the KOG Building’s opening hours, LU Card checks are carried out by two external security guards instructed by the University Services Department (UFB) and the KOG Facilities Management team.
Request a LU Card
New employees can request a LU Card online or at the Service Desk.
