ecUM from 1 July 2025 without photo

Starting on 1 July 2025, the ecUM will have a new design. There will no longer be a photo on the front of the card. The photo will be replaced by a QR code. This will affect all cards issued after 1 July 2025. Existing cards can still be used. 

Replacement in case of loss or damage

If your ecUM is lost or defective, you can apply for a new ecUM via the student portal. Log in with your university ID and password. The fee for a replacement card is EUR 15.

How do I receive notifications?

  • All notifications such as holds or final notices are sent to your university e-mail address.
  • You can change your address at the ecUM terminals and at the Student Services office.
