Student ID cards

Students and staff are required to wear ID cards at all times. 

 

You will be given your student card and a lanyard when you enrol. It is important that you wear it at all times on college premises so we know you are a student and permitted to be in college. 

Your student card is also a key that gives you access to some buildings. You must remember your card at all times to gain entry to college.

You also need your student card to use the printers and photocopiers, borrow books from the library and receive free dinners if you are eligible to do so (and to get your student discounts!)

If you did not receive a card when you enrolled, please go to the library to collect one on your first day in college.

If you forget your card, you must go to Reception to collect a temporary ID sticker.

Look after your card, there is a £5.00 charge to replace lost cards.
