Learn how to use your student ID card to access campus facilities, library services, and various student discounts.
This scheme provides enrolled students with an official identification card used to verify your status at your institution.
Who it's for
This ID is for any person who is currently enrolled as a student at a university or tertiary institution. It serves as your official proof of enrollment to ensure you have access to the specific resources and benefits reserved for those studying at your campus.
What you get
The student card acts as your primary gateway to campus life and academic resources. By carrying this card, you gain essential access to the university library and other campus facilities. Beyond the campus, having a valid student ID is often necessary to qualify for various student discounts available to those in tertiary education.
What it costs you
For most students, there is no separate, additional charge to obtain this card. The cost of producing and issuing the ID is usually included in the enrolment fees you pay to your university at the start of your studies.
The catch to know
It is vital that you keep your card in a safe and secure place at all times. The most important thing to remember is that you will need to present this physical ID for verification during every exam you sit to prove you are the person registered for the assessment.
