Student ID card

Your student ID card is used for identification, building access, photocopying, printing and borrowing books. Your card must be carried with you when you are on campus and is valid for the period of your enrolment.

If you are a student and are applying for your first ever Student ID Card, upload your photo here.

Callaghan, Ourimbah, NUspace, Sydney, Port Macquarie and Singapore students will receive an email with details of when and where to collect their ID card. You will be required to provide your student number and photo identification on collection.

Online students will receive an email once their ID card has been mailed to their address registered in myHub.

ID Cards may also be obtained from Student Central at Callaghan, Ourimbah or NUspace between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.

If your Student ID Card has been lost or stolen, you can pay for a replacement card online and collect your replacement Student ID Card from your nearest Student Central location.
