Student ID card
Your student ID card
You will receive your student ID card when you start studying at Erasmus University Rotterdam. When your enrolment has been fully completed and all obligations met, your student ID card will be sent to your postal address. This card will serve as your official identification for Erasmus University Rotterdam during your entire study period.
Your passport photo will be placed on your student card. To do so, we require a copy of your passport photo which you should submit to Student Administration Department/Enrolment, PO Box 1738, 3000 VB Rotterdam along with the passport photo form.
What can you do with your student ID card?
It is advisable that you always take your student card when you go to the university. During class, for example, you could be asked to show your student card and it is one proof of identity for written examinations. The student card also serves as a library card at the university library.
What to do if you lose your student ID card?
If you lose your student card, the finder is asked to return the card to Erasmus University Rotterdam, Student Administration Department/Enrolment, PO Box 1738, 3000 VB Rotterdam.
You can apply for a new student ID card at the ESSC, preferably in person in EB-Hall (E- Building). A new student ID card costs € 10, but is free of charge if you can show via a police report that your student card was stolen.
Contact address if you have not received a student ID card
Have you met all enrolment obligations, but still have not received your student ID card? Please contact the ESSC. You can reach them by telephone on (010) 408 2323.
Proof of enrolment
After completing your enrolment, you will receive two copies of your proof of enrolment per year. You can use this for organisations (e.g. insurance company, bank) that ask for this information. If you require an extra proof of enrolment, you may apply for this at the ESSC, preferably in person at the EB-Hall (E-Building). An extra proof of enrolment is provided free of charge.
Faulty printed student ID cards
As from the new academic year the student ID cards have got a new layout. Just like the old student ID card the six digit student number and the two digit control number are stated on this card. However, on the cards issued until August 2009 these numbers are printed successively without distinction.
In any case, the first six digits constitute the student number. This number is identical to the ERNA account. As from September 2009 a space will be printed again between the student number and the control number.
Wrong: Not clear whether the student number includes 6 or 8 digits.
Good: The student number stands out.
