If you are ineligible for Studentlund membership, you may join by obtaining special membership in the Academic Society (Akademiska föreningen).

Register and pay the membership fee. Then show the proof of payment when you come to the office. Membership in the Academic Society either through Studentlund or by special membership is necessary.

Make sure you have created an account and registered your card on esncard.org. Having an account on Hitract is not enough. Note that it might take up to a day for the databases to sync after registering your card.

Follow the instructions at esncard.org/ryanair.

No, you can only get an ESNcard by visiting our office.

Yes, you can benefit from the same partner discounts. However, you must be a member of ESN Lund to get discounts on our events.

You can purchase a new ESNcard in our office.

We often release tickets just a few days before the event. Some events don’t require signing up, you can find them on the event calendar.

No, however you are welcome to sell the ticket to another person for example in our WhatsApp group.

If there are still tickets available, you can pay by cash in our office. This does not apply to Timetravels or Sea Battle trips as all payments are handled by them.

You can find it on

The Swedish personal identity number (which Hitract calls “Person official ID”) is in the format YYYYMMDDXXXX; year, month, day), where XXXX is either a letter and three numbers for an interim (temporary) personal number or four numbers for a normal personal identity number.

The Swedish personal identity number can be written using two (e.g. 99) or four (e.g. 1999) digits representing the year and can optionally include a hyphen before the last four characters.

Hitract requires having 12 characters (using the long year format) and without a hyphen, like so: 19991231T123

You need to visit our office to complete your membership. See our location and hours.

No. Come by during any of the office hours shown in the corner of this site — that panel is the live rota, so it is right even when a shift has been cancelled.

No. We work in English — most of our members are international students themselves. Practising Swedish is a bonus, not a requirement.

Between 2 and 8 hours a week, depending on the position. The Activity Committee is the flexible end of that range and is a good first step if you are considering a bigger role later.
