Access and wristband
All volunteers must wear a volunteer wristband. The wristbands are handed out from Check-In in Building 6 at Roskilde Business College, Bakkesvinget 67, 4000 Roskilde.
Your wristband will be handed out in Check-In by showing your Check-In card and photo ID. You can find your Check-In card on your profile on People.
You must wear a valid wristband from Wednesday 24 June at 08:00 to Wednesday 8 July at 09:00. The wristband gives you access to all open areas as well as restricted areas for those who need it to do their jobs.
You must always show your volunteer wristband when passing through a gate. If you’re driving through a gate, you must come to a complete stop and show your wristband.
Enhanced check of wristbands at gates
At times, your wristband will be scanned at our gates. We do this to ensure that you have access to the area.
We may also physically check your wristband by pulling on it to ensure that it is still attached properly. If that is not the case, you will be directed to Check-In to get it fixed.
Your wristband is handed out at Check-In. Remember to bring your Check-In card and valid photo ID.
You can also collect other products assigned on your People profile, e.g., driving or parking permits, before and after wristbands or bicycle permits.
