Student ID and access cards

If you need access to the university outside normal opening hours, you can order an access card. If you only need a digital student ID, you can choose this option.

Student ID

  1. Pay your semester fees and approve your study plan on Studentweb.
  2. Download the Student ID app
    Download from the App Store (iOS) Requires iOS 15
    Download from Google Play (Android) Requires Android 12.0
  3. Log in with your UiA account

The Student ID app serves as a student ID at, among other places, student unions and public transport companies. The app can also be used as a library card to borrow books from the University Library.

You will still need an access card to enter buildings.

You must have registered on Studentweb and paid your semester fee before you can start using the app. If you are a student at multiple campuses, you must select the campus where you have paid your semester fee.
