Your student card will be ordered once you have completed your registration (Onboarding) and will be delivered to your home address.
You will have until the 31st of July to upload your photo, otherwise if you have an existing College photo this will be used. Returning students can upload a new photo for their 23/24 card, as long as this is completed by the deadline above.
The card has your ID Number on it, this is your College network user name. It can be used to access your printing and borrow a laptop from our laptop cabinets located in each of the three main campuses.
Note that replacement cards are charged at £5 each.
How do I upload my photo?
If you are new to College and you miss this deadline, you can either upload a photo via Onboarding or visit one of our Help Points to get this sorted.
Your photo has to be of an acceptable passport style, please check out the information on this site before you upload your photograph. Unacceptable photos delay the production of your card and you may not have it when your course starts if we need to ask for another one.
To access Onboarding, and you have studied with us within the last 12 months, and your student ID remains the same, please use your College password that you used to access College systems.
If you have forgotten your College password, please click here. Unsure how to do this? Watch the short video below.
If you don’t have a College account, please use the password that was on your original Onboarding email. It will look similar to this: 78TT12jji75qQ
