How the Umu card functions
Library card
Your Umu card works as a library card for the University Library, Medical Library, UB Arts Campus and Archives and Special Collections.
Entry to the University's premises
The authorisation is controlled by the department, office or equivalent where you are employed. If you require extended authorisation, please contact the Campus Services Office. The Umu card does not function as an access card in University Hospital of Umeå (NUS) premises.
Printing, copying and scanning
You can use your Umu card to identify yourself at the printer when you want to print, copy or scan. You can print from University computers or from your computer and collect your printed pages from any printer within the University. Your Umu card is linked to the department, unit or equivalent where you are employed. The cost of your printed pages and copies will be invoiced there.
Guest card
Guest card for employees who forgot their card
Infocenter, the security group at Campus Services Office and employees responsible for passage, can issue guest cards that are valid for one day. These cards have the same authorization as the person's regular card but cannot be used as a library card or for copying, printing, or scanning. The person's regular card is blocked until the guest card is returned.
Guest card for temporary guests
Do you have guests who temporarily need an access card? You can order it from the security group at Campus Services Office. They register the person for a guest card (up to 5 days) or an external individual card.
