The rationale

Most UT buildings are closed after office hours, during which the Security Service provides emergency and first aid assistance to anyone present. The access cards are not only designed to keep out unauthorised individuals; the electronic registration of all those present enables the Security Service to quickly find everyone in the building in the event of an emergency.

It is essential, also for safety considerations, that you properly register and deregister when you enter and leave a building after office hours.

For brevity’s sake, we use the term ‘office hours’ to indicate regular business hours. For educational facilities, this means weekdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. As the Vrijhof and Bastille buildings and the Sportscentrum complex are regularly open in the evening and at the weekend, the rules below do not apply there.
