Before your first visit and first loan in the library, you must have your Campuscard activated as a library card. To do this, please complete the library registration web form in full and present the required documents (valid identity card or residence permit or EU identity card/passport in conjunction with a current registration certificate or tenancy agreement and the Campuscard) at the circulation desk when you visit the library. Borrowing media is only possible with an activated library card.
