Student Identity Card

UTAS Home › Current Students › Enrolments  › Student Identity Card

Students require a current UTAS ID card to verify their identity for enrolment and examination purposes and to utilise Library and printing services. UTAS will provide a Student ID card to each student free of charge each academic year. There is a $5.00 charge to replace lost or damaged cards. 

For information about privacy provisions and cultural considerations, see Declaration Information below.

In most cases your card can be produced 48 hours after you add your units online, or after the Student Centre processes your form in the case of Special programs. For a full-time card you need to complete your enrolment for both semesters 1 and 2.

Where and when to get your 2013 ID card

See the sessions dates and times below for your nearest ID Card session. Please bring some photo identification (eg driver’s licence, last year’s card) and your student identification number (as shown on your letter of offer) when you come to get your card.

NB – Student Centre is providing a local collection service for continuing students at some remote study centres. Cards will be produced from the existing photo and sent for local collection to the centre, eg Hobart, Launceston and NW Clinical Schools; School of Medicine, Hunter St and Inveresk. You will be advised by email if this service is available at your centre.
