Your University ID card

Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students

Once you have uploaded your photo, enrolled online and had your identity checked (using the new ID Upload task) your University ID card will be posted to your term-time address (closer to the start date of your course). 

Please carry this card with you on campus at all times (you may be asked to show it to security or other University staff).
