KinderOnderzoekcentrum Maastricht
Het Kinderonderzoekscentrum voert onderzoeken uit voor deelnemers in alle ontwikkelingsfasen. Schoolgaande kinderen en adolescenten, die aan ons onderzoek willen deelnemen, kunnen op hun school getest worden. We voeren veel verschillende soorten onderzoeken uit, die elk een andere aanpak vereisen. Bij sommige onderzoeken moeten we kinderen alleen testen in een rustige ruimte. In samenwerking met betreffende leraren en schoolbestuurders zoeken we naar een manier waarop we dit kunnen uitvoeren.
The UMcard is a smart card for students, employees and (some) visitors. The UMcard is your official ID within the university. Only with this card you can enter the UM buildings, parking lots, and other facilties.
The UMcard can be used to pay at several food and beverage outlets and vending machines within UM. But you can also use it to identify yourself at test locations, for printing at UM or to borrow books at the library.
Request UMcard
Students
The Student Services Centre (SSC) is responsible for issuing the cards to new students. New UM students will be informed at the start of their study via email when and where their card can be picked up.
Your first UMcard is free when you start studying. You only need to pay if you lose your UMcard or if it is stolen, see below on how to request a replacement.
Employees
Use the following form to obtain an UMcard or change your information: Request / change form UMcard
Your management unit pays for your first UMcard. You will only be charged if you have requested a replacement UMcard upon loss or theft, see below on how to request a replacement.
It is no longer possible to make a request for a UMcard on paper, neither via the receptions or the building managers. You can make the UMcard request by contacting the secretariat of your department; they will make sure your form is complete before sending it to the UMcard team.
Defective UMcard?
Contact the UMcard team at (UMcard@maastrichtuniversity.nl) and include a short description of the issue, your student ID/P-number and 6-digit card number, and they will try to solve your issue or replace your UMcard if necessary.
When you go to pick up a new UMcard, make sure to hand in the old defective card at the reception.
Lost or need to update your UMcard?
Have you lost your UMcard, or would you like to update it with a new photo or a changed name? You can request a replacement UMcard using the green buttons on the right.
Would you like to change your photo? First, email the new photo to UMcard@maastrichtuniversity.nl before ordering a new card. Once you have received confirmation that your photo has been updated, you can request a new UMcard.
Delivery
A replacement UMcard can usually be picked up the next working day after 14:00 at the receptions of Minderbroedersberg 4–6 and Universiteitssingel 40, unless otherwise indicated.
Do you need more help?
You can contact the UMcard team for any other questions regarding authorizations or further questions regarding the UMcard.
Common questions
Why does my Umcard not work at the printers?
If you have an issue with the printer (e.g. you cannot log in with your card or manually), you can contact ICTS as it might be an account issue.
Can I change the picture on my Umcard?
If you want to replace the image on a defective card, mail the picture together with the email explaining the defect.
If you want to replace the picture on your lost UMcard, mail the picture first before requesting a new card.
How can I get authorizations on my Umcard?
If you need specific authorizations for a location, you can contact the secretariat of your department; they can point you to who you can ask.
