Security guards
KTH has security guards present on all campuses, around the clock and all year around. They make sure to be visible to ensure that you as a student feel safe, check the alarms and make sure that student events are carried out safely. The security guard also serves as a support to KTH's security function.
Security guards on campus can be accompanied by trained guard dogs for security reasons. These dogs are always kept on a leash and it is important that you never approached a dog without first getting explicit permission from the guard.
Alarm
KTH's facilities are equipped with alarms to prevent theft. If you accidentally set off the alarm, make sure to stay until security arrives and let them know what has happened.
Authorisation and identity control
KTH has security guards guarding all campus areas, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For everyone's safety and security, KTH's security guards carry out authorisation and identity checks on people staying on KTH's premises.
As a student, you must present the following documents at the request of KTH's security guards:
- Valid form of identification
- Valid access card
- Confirm your authorisation by presenting your access card at the relevant card reader
If you are unable to present these documents, security guards will ask you to leave KTH's premises.
