Admittance to the University premises

Loss of a UGent card

Several Ghent University services supply students and staff with access and/or ID cards. Therefore, replacing lost cards takes some effort.

  • Student ID card: You can request a duplicate by sending an email to studentadministration@UGent.be. Please mention your full name, your student number, your current address and the study programme that you are enrolled for. An administrative cost will be charged. You will need to come and collect the card in person and pay by bankcard. No cost will be charged if you can present an official police declaration that your card was stolen, or in case of an faulty card.
  • Access and Parking pass: report the loss or theft of the card asap to permanentie@UGent.be. The card will be immediately blocked. You will have to pay a fee for a new card.
