STid Mobile ID – campus access in Kemi and Tornio

STid Mobile ID logo

Students at Lapland UAS’s Kemi–Tornio campuses can use facilities such as the library and various learning environments outside regular opening hours. For this, students can activate STid Mobile ID, a virtual access card that can be downloaded to a smartphone (Luc Access Keycard).

The system is also used by staff. Staff IDs are automatically issued upon the supervisor’s request.
