Mijn eduID

Terms of Use

Version 11 March 2020

Please note: the Dutch version of the terms of service is authoritative.

With eduID, a user can gain access to the services of institutions affiliated with SURF. The eduID service is intended for users who do not have an account with an institution or for services for which an institution-independent account is useful. Examples include access for external users, guest users, and pre-registrants, or to services for which a student needs continued access even after graduation.

By creating an eduID account, the user agrees to these terms of use.
