As a full-time student at the Academy you will receive a student card.

Your student card is your identification when you are at the Academy. You must use the student card every time you print/copy. Your student card is also used for identification at exams.

Your student card is also a key card that gives you access to Business Academy Aarhus’ buildings outside of normal opening hours.

In addition, you can use your student card for other situations when you need to prove that you are a student - e.g. when you want to get student discounts on public transport, at museums, cinemas, bars and at many other places.

During the first weeks of your programme, you will be given a time slot when you - together with your class - must get a photo taken for your student card.

The student cards will be distributed per class from Monday 8 September 2025.

There are clear rules for copying and sharing textbooks - regardless of whether they are your own printed books, e-books or borrowed books.

Here is an overview of the rules: 

• You may copy an entire printed book, you have bought or borrowed – but only for your own use
• You may scan 30 pages (however max 20%) of a printed book you have bought or borrowed
• You may print an entire e-book, you have bought yourself from a bookshop or publisher – but only for your own use
• You may print 30 pages (however maximum 20%) of an e-book you have borrowed
• If you digitise a printed text, the same rules apply as for e-books
• You may share digital texts (e.g. e-books or scanned printed texts) with your fellow students via for example Canvas - but still only 30 pages (however max 20%) of the entire book
• Remember that an e-book and audio book, etc. have the same copyright as software. This means that your access to the material is personal, and therefore you must not share any material electronically (either for free or for a fee).

Please note that when the material specifically states that it may not be copied (e.g. Standards from Dansk Standard), it must never be shared - not even in printed format.
