Students will receive their ID card after their registration at the university is completed. You will need to carry this ID card at all time.

All University Online Services use the same Username and Password combination – your ULCN account. A university network account ('ulcn-account' and password) will be send by e-mail to all students. If you haven’t, you can visit Plexus to receive your information. The ulcn-account gives you access to the electronic study environment of the Leiden University. After choosing a new password, you can then use this information to log into Wi-fi services in all university buildings, as well as logging into Blackboard, USIS and university Webmail (uMail).

Mails of the University or BMS will be sent to your uMail account. Check this mail regularly!

1. Go to webmail.leidenuniv.nl/ox.htm

Automatically forward your umail to your private e-mail address (instructions)

For your correspondence to BMS always use your uMail or LUMC account.

During the master you can come into contact with patient material. It is therefore important that you are vaccinated correctly. A Hepatitis B vaccination is mandatory. When you go to the VGM department in the “Poortgebouw” during walk-in-hours and show your LUMC badge, you can have the vaccination for free. You do need to bring a copy of your youth vaccination information.

You can find more information on the LUMC website here.
