More Information
	ID Card Sessions

All students require photographic identification (for example, driver's licence or passport) to obtain an ID card.

Your Student ID Card is proof of your enrolment. It enables you to borrow books from University libraries and is compulsory identification for attendance during examinations. All ID cards must be signed on collection.

See the Policies and Procedures Library for student requirements.

Your Student ID Card reflects the information you submit the first time you enrol. It is valid for the length of your program, so ensure you have entered the following information correctly:

• your expected graduation semester 
• your planned academic load [full-time or part-time attendance]

New undergraduate and postgraduate students in first semester (except MBBS students - see below)
Your ID Card can be obtained one working day after you enrol via mySI-net. To get your card you will need to have your photograph taken at one of the ID card sessions. 

New international students should bring their offer letter plus some form of photographic identification (for example, driver's licence or passport).

External students/Distance education students
ID cards are mandatory for students studying through distance education. You must take your student ID card when attending examinations.  External students can borrow from the Library online. However, if you wish to borrow from the Library in person you will need an ID Card. If you cannot attend a campus location to obtain an ID Card, complete the External Student ID Card Declaration form, available online, attach a digital passport-style photograph of yourself and email to unicard@uq.edu.au or download the form and send it with a passport-style photograph of yourself to:

Unicard
