What you can do with your ID card

About your ID card

All students must have a student ID card, even if you are studying via distance education (i.e. externally).

Student ID cards enable you to:

Borrow books from the University libraries;
Print and copy on campus;
Provide proof of ID when discussing your enrolment;
Identify yourself when attending exams;
Access buildings and computer labs;
Get concession fares on public transport and other services.

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

Your expected graduation semester; and
Your planned academic load (full-time or part-time attendance).

ID cards can be produced one working day after you have enrolled via mySI-net.

Travel concession

If you are a full-time student enrolled in an Austudy approved program, your ID Card will include a Queensland Rail Logo and can be used to obtain travel concessions from all participating transport providers. Please access the Queensland Government Transport website for more information on concession fares. Please note Queensland Transport policy states external students are ineligible for a transport concession even if they are enrolled full-time.

International Student Identification Cards (ISIC)

International Student Identification Cards (ISIC) provide full-time students with access to a wide range of travel and other discounts and concessions within Australia and world-wide. Cards are available from Student Travel Australia (STA) website.

Please note that you will require proof of current full-time enrolment as part of the eligibility requirement. You can get this from the Student Centre on your campus.

Your application for the ISIC must be made directly to STA.
