Collect your UCard

Your UCard is your personal University card. You need a UCard to access campus facilities.

Before you can collect your UCard you must first complete the following tasks by 30 August 2024:

• Confirm your registration details
• Upload your photo

The deadline to collect your UCard is 18 September 2024. 

Some students will be able to collect their UCard at their accommodation. Others will need to make an appointment to collect their card.

You will receive an email on 4 or 5 September 2024 explaining how to collect your UCard. Please follow the instructions in this email.

If you also need to complete a student document (right to study) check, you will be able to do this at the same time. The email will explain how to book for the services you need.

If you are a pre-sessional student

You will receive your UCard when you move into your University accommodation. If you are not moving into University accommodation, you can collect your UCard at your student document check event.

Activate your UCard

Once you have collected your UCard, you will need to swipe it to complete registration. You can do this on a wall-mounted card reader (or library entrance card reader) for 10 to 15 seconds.

It may take up to 2 hours before our systems update and register you in full.

UCard data use

We store data from your UCard which shows when you use your UCard to enter a University building.

We use this data so ensure support and services are available. This use of your data is part of section 10 of the Student Agreement.
