What do I need to know about Student ID cards?

Updated 19/01/2024 03.46 PM

All students require a Student ID card, whether studying on-campus or online.

If on-campus you'll need your Student ID to access all common buildings. If you need access to specific buildings / areas, request this from your local College or Institute reception point once you have your ID card. 
 
You'll need your Student ID for:

  • Access to buildings
  • University events
  • Sitting exams
  • Borrowing books and accessing Library Services
  • Charging and accessing your account for photocopying and printing
  • Receiving student concessions
Your Student ID Card should automatically give you after hours access to university buildings. If this access is not working you can contact UConnect to have your after hours access requested. 
 
How do I order my Student ID card?
 
You can order your Student ID card online.

When ordering, you can opt to: 

  • Order and collect your Student ID card on the spot from a UConnect location;
  • Have your card mailed out to you (ensure your mailing address is up to date in eStudent);
  • Collect your card from a UConnect location, five business days after your email confirmation (have your Student Number handy)

If your Student ID card has been lost, damaged or stolen:
 
Order your replacement card here - it costs $10.00.

If your Student ID card has expired or is faulty and not working:

Log into MyID to order your card, then contact UConnect at U.Connect@utas.edu.au to discuss your situation.

ID cards are valid for the expected length of your degree - if you are enrolled past this date a replacement card is free of charge.
 
If you have arrived at your exam without your ID card, contact UConnect for a 'proof of identity' slip instead of a replacement card.
