Smart Card for Guests
A guest card is issued upon request to persons who are neither employees nor students at the University of Göttingen, but who are to be issued with a card due to their activity at the Georg-August-Universität.
These may be visiting scholars, doctoral students, scholarship holders or freelancers who are granted a card for a limited period of time to use certain services at the university, e.g. authorization to use the SUB or access to a building.
The services of the SUB Göttingen can also be used with this card after setting up a library account. Please fill out the SUB Göttingen registration form.
To use the university's IT infrastructure (WLAN, printing services, computers), you can apply for a free user ID from the GWDG via your faculty. Information on this is not provided by the staff of the Card Office, but by the IT representatives of your institution.
To access electronic media via VPN and Shibboleth, please also contact the GWDG so that your account there can be linked to your guest card. The best way to do this is to send a message from your work e-mail address to support@gwdg.de stating your guest card number (0007008xxxxx).
The costs, currently €15 per guest card, are charged to the applying institution.
The card must be requested by an authorized person (from the respective area or department) in the Workflowcenter Lucom:
