Get your student ID card
Student ID cards can be issued up to two weeks before the start of your programme.
Your first student ID card is free, however, if you need a replacement card there is a fee to pay.
Go to Student Central (Te Pae Kōrero) on campus where our friendly staff will take your photo and issue you with a student ID card.
We suggest getting in early to sort your ID, to avoid any long waiting periods or queues at the start of the semester.
You may be asked to verify that you’ve paid your fees or have made arrangements to pay your fees, e.g. via student loan, and show some form of personal identification in order to get a student ID card.
