University Card

For after-hours access to the university's facilities and in order to borrow books at the University Library or equipment at Technical Support Services, you need a University Card. This card also gives you access to your school's computer rooms and labs.

Collect a University card

You will receive a University card when you arrive in Örebro. If not, you may always collect a card at Info Centre in Långhuset or at any of the libraries at Örebro University. Students at Campus Grythyttan may collect their cards at the Library in Måltidens hus.

Distance learning students also need a University card in order to borrows books at the University Library. The card can also be used to access the Library’s databases and e-services. If you visit our campuses, the card can also be used as a key card and to borrow technical equipment at Technical Support Services. Order a University card for distance learning students here!

Most of Örebro University’s houses are closed during the night (23:00-06:00). Some houses are accessible even during the night. These are the only houses where you may be during the night to study. It is not allowed to use Örebro University’s facilities for overnight stay. You can find current opening hours here.

Computer halls and laboratories
As a student you will automatically gain access to your school’s computer halls and laboratories. Click here to see a list of all computer rooms. Some rooms are specifically for students of a particular course, meaning you might have access to a room one semester but no longer keep that access the following semester when you have changed courses.

Misuse
Access to Örebro University’s facilities when the doors are locked is a privilege for our students, not a right. Any type of misuse can result in access being withdrawn completely or partly. Example of misuse is using facilities for overnight stay, disrupting classes, littering or destruction of property.
