The persons must first be created in IDM by the secretary or HR employee to whom they are assigned. Subsequently, they must have a photo taken at the local Facility Support Office.

Everyone must carry their AAUcard (AAUcard is used as ID). In many places, the AAUcard is also used as the physical key to one's office, etc.

At Facility Support you can get a card holder, key hanger and key yoyo for your AAUcard.

Basically, the card gives access to AAU's buildings. If you need access to locked areas, please contact the local Facility Support team

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.

If you are a guest at AAU, you can use our wireless guest network AAU-1-DAY.

To be able to connect your computer to AAU-1-DAY, you must use today's code. The code can be read by all staff and students on the code page for AAU-1-DAY. Note that the code is updated every day at midnight.
