Student ID Card Collection
Collecting your Student ID Card and Lanyard
Your student ID card is an essential part of your university experience, providing you access to the Library, buildings, and facilities on site. All staff and students are required to wear visible ID lanyards at all times at our sites. Also, if you have applied for student finance, it is vital that you collect your student card as this will allow the University to confirm your attendance. Once this confirmation is complete, you can expect to receive your maintenance money within five working days. Ensure that you have completed all necessary steps to avoid any delays in receiving your financial support.
Where and When to collect your Student ID Card and Lanyard
In order to collect your ID card and lanyard, you will need to have completed online enrolment, including submitting your photograph.
Before we can issue your ID card and lanyard, you must complete online enrollment. Once you have completed online enrolment, you can collect your student ID card from one of the collection point venues listed below. Please be advised that the guidance below is subject to change, so please check this page and your email regularly for the latest information.
