Obtaining a campus card
Students and doctoral students
Each student and doctoral student registered with the University of Lausanne automatically receives a campus card by post before the start of the semester. Students are advised to validate their campus card from their first day in order to access the card's features and services.
Students registered at another Swiss university and following a joint course with the Université de Lausanne can obtain a campus card. The application form is available on our documents page.
If you have not received your campus card, please consult our help page.
Staff and teachers
A form for your campus card has been sent to you by your department or faculty. Once your application has been processed, you will receive your campus card by post. If you have not received this form or have saved it, you can download it from our documents page.
Guests, external speakers
If you have been working at the University of Lausanne for at least three months as an external contributor (e.g. intern, temporary employee, external scientific collaborator, visiting researcher, etc.) or as a member of a partner institution, you can obtain a campus card.
In these cases, you will receive your campus card following a request for an invitation from a member of the teaching staff or the PAT. You can find more information on our ‘Invitation management’ page.
Conseils pour la photographie
You must provide us with a photograph for your campus card. This photograph may also be used on your faculty website or with one of your publications. We therefore advise you not to neglect the photograph you send us, taking care to ensure its quality, framing, exposure and presentation.
From a technical point of view, if you send us a photograph electronically, please rename the file (e.g. ‘firstname_name.jpg’). If you scan your image, please ensure that the file format is JPEG and not PDF, and that the scan is of the best possible quality.
The technical requirements are as follows:
- Colour: yes
- Image format: JPEG
- Minimum resolution: 300 dpi
- Minimum image size (definition): 566 x 426 px
- File name: firstname_name.jpg
- Your photograph can be sent to us at campuscard@unil.ch
A document summarising these tips can be downloaded from our documents page.
