All LU students need an active LU-card to access Leiden University premises, including your residential floor at AvB. Therefore, please apply for your LU-card well before your arrival.

Apply for your LU-Card without a Dutch address

If you do not have a Dutch correspondence address, please update your correspondence address in Studielink temporarily to the address of Leiden University College The Hague. You can have your LU-card sent there by providing the following information in Studielink:

YOUR FULL NAME
Leiden University College The Hague
Anna van Buerenplein 301
2595 DG The Hague

After temporarily altering your address, you can request your LU card by following the application procedure. Your card will be sent to LUC’s address and the Admissions Office will save it for you until you arrive.

After receiving the confirmation email related to your LU-card, please change your correspondence address to your new address. If your room number in our building is 412 for example, your new correspondence address will be Anna van Buerenplein 412.

Pick up your LU-Card

You can collect the card at the Admissions Office (room 4.46) during the Introduction Week from Monday to Thursday, between 10:00 and 16:00. Please note that you will receive a confirmation email when your LU-card has arrived at LUC.

To ensure a smooth arrival, you will be able to access your accommodation floor without an LU-card during the Move-in Days weekend. Please view the flowchart below to see which steps you  need to take and in which order to request your LU-card.
