Step 7 Get your student ID card

How do I get my student ID card?

When you have enrolled, visit any Student Central and bring your student ID number and a current Driver's Licence, passport or other photo ID. It should only take five minutes for your card to be prepared. If you are eligible for a travel concession, you can arrange that at the same time as your ID card.

Why do I need a student ID card?

You must have a student ID card and have it with you at all times when on campus. This photo ID is used for library and photocopier services, accessing campus computer labs and for identification purposes while on campus and in exams.

It is a misconduct offence if a student refuses or is unable to identify him/herself when asked to do so by an officer of the University (e.g. security officer, exam supervisor).

Replacement cards

If your card is lost or stolen, you will need to pay a $25 replacement fee. Payment for a replacement ID card can be made using iPay. No fee applies if your card has been damaged or you have changed your name, however you must return the previous card. If you do not return your previous card, you will be required to pay the $25 fee.

To collect your replacement card, take your iPay receipt to a Student Central. You must attend the Student Central in person.

Travel concessions

Student Central issue travel concessions on behalf of NSW Transport. Concessions are only available to students who meet NSW Transport's strict conditions.
