GU card
The GU card is an access card, a University Library card and you can use it on the university printers. You order your card in the GU card portal.
Problems with the access system
For some time now, we have been experiencing recurring operational disruptions in our access control system.
The problem occurs in the following buildings: Humanisten, Handels, all Samfaks buildings, Pedagogen, Eklandagatan 86, UB (all except the biomedical and Hälsovetarbacken libraries), Rosenlundsgatan 4, Långgatorna, Tjärnö and Kristineberg.
The disruptions are unpredictable; even if your access card is not working at the moment, another one may work.
The problem can manifest itself in two ways, description and handling:
- The card does not work on the first attempt. Try again.
- The card does not work despite repeated attempts. Wait a while before trying again. Please send an error message to sakerhet.support@gu.se
We are working with the supplier of the access system to resolve the issue.
