When you lose your Erasmus Sport pass or if this pass has been stolen, you should report this as soon as possible. This can be done at our service desk or by email: info@erasmussport.nl.

After reporting your missing pass, we can duplicate your Erasmus Sport pass at our service desk. For this, you pay €7,50 administration costs. With the creation of such a duplicate, your old pass loses its validity.

If the lost or stolen Erasmus Sport pass is used by someone else in the meantime this will be seen as abuse and we will have to take the Erasmus Sport pass (also see our general terms and conditions).

The found objects (clothing, shoes, etc.) are kept on the first floor, next to the elevator. Found cards, jewelry, electronics and such are stored at the service desk

If the found objects are not claimed within two weeks, we bring them to the front office of the University Support Centre:  https://www.eur.nl/services/gevonden-en-verloren-voorwerpen
