The student card allows you to prove your student status. It is useful for:
- Obtaining discounts in certain shops or reduced admission fees to certain museums, cinemas, etc.
- Proving your identity when taking exams.
It's not a problem. You can take your exams with:
- Your identity card
- And your certificate of enrolment (downloadable from your virtual desktop)
The access card allows you to enter the UCLouvain premises to which you have been granted access:
- Libraries
- Computer rooms
- Laboratories

Your access card is produced once only when you first enrol and will be reactivated each time you enrol at UCLouvain, even after a break. Keep it safe.
It will be sent to the postal address specified in your enrolment application.
→ Note: Access cards are never sent outside Belgium. If you did not provide a Belgian address when you enrolled, your card will automatically be sent to the Enrolment Office on your campus. The Enrolment Office will contact you by email as soon as your card is available.
