How to get your new student ID card

All new students (including study abroad and international) should follow the ID Cards for new students process below. You can also watch our How to get your UTS Student ID Card video on YouTube.\

Offshore students

Students commencing their degree offshore do not need an ID card until they arrive in Australia.

Your student ID card is important to your studies at UTS. You must obtain your student ID card before the last day to enrol or you are at risk of being withdrawn from your course. All enrolled students must have a current UTS student ID card and keep it with them at all times while on campus. It’s not only used to establish your identity (or even just to qualify for those student concession deals) but your card also enables you to access the UTS Library, facilities such as labs, and after-hours entry to buildings, utility services such as printing, and attend exams.

Your student ID card is valid for the period of your course enrolment. You must return your student ID card to the university if you take a leave of absence or withdraw from your UTS course.

This process is for all new students, including:

distance or online students students
postgraduate students (including research students)
study abroad students
cross institutional students
students living in UTS Housing
students who previously studied at UTS, but are commencing a new course

Student ID cards and access to secure areas

It’s through the student ID cards that students can gain access to secure areas. To access these areas, simply hold the card flush with the card reader until it beeps and flashes green to gain access to the restricted area. Your access is conditional upon having necessary access rights.
