How do I get a staff card?

As you should carry your Staff Card at all times when on University property, it is important to visit the University Card Centre to collect your Staff Card on your first day at the University.

To collect your Staff Card, you will need to present your:

  • Letter of offer or Staff Number
  • Photo identification eg driver’s licence or passport

Upon presentation, a University Card Centre staff member will take your photo and print your Staff Card on the spot. You will also receive your choice of card holder, either with a lanyard or as a belt clip.
