The access control system will be replaced in Atalpa building on Friday 22 August 2025. After the switch, existing access cards will no longer work in the Atalpa building.
If you have paid SportUni’s sport fee, you have received instructions to your tuni.fi email address. This email will be sent from the address noreply@stidmobile-id.com. The email will instruct sport centre users to download the STid Mobile ID mobile app to their smartphones and then activate the new virtual access card through this app. This method is the preferred option for students to obtain access rights. The email will be sent approximately 24 hours after the sports fee is paid. Please note that when the SportUni payment period changes, your access rights are automatically updated to your existing (virtual) access card, and you do not need to reload the card. If you change your phone or delete your virtual access card, you can order a new virtual access card via the Intra form or by requesting one at campus information desks/customer service points.
If you are unable to start using the virtual access card, you can collect a new physical access card at SportUni City Centre or SportUni Kauppi customer service desk. It is also possible to add SportUni City Centre/Hippos access rights to new TREY (from autumn 2025 onwards) and TAMKO (from spring 2026 onwards) student cards.
Staff members can either begin using the virtual access card or collect a new employee ID card (which includes access rights to authorised areas) from the information desk in the Main Building (Päätalo) on the City Centre campus.
Gradual rollout of the new access control system across campuses
During the transition period, users will need to use a new access card to access Atalpa and continue using their old access card to access other campus buildings.
Tampere University will gradually implement a new access control system across all campuses by the end of 2028. The project began in late 2024 at the Nekala unit of the Teacher Training School. On the city centre campus, the rollout will begin with Atalpa and then continue to Virta, Linna, Pinni B and the Main Building. After the city centre campus, the project will move to the Kauppi campus and finally to the Hervanta campus. The new system will also be in place at the new SportUni Hippos gym when it opens in Aug-Sep 2025. Preparations have also been made for Tampere University of Applied Sciences to adopt the same system in a few years’ time.
