5. Use of Queen Mary ID Card

All new students will be issued a Queen Mary photo-identity (ID) card once they have completed full or temporary enrolment.
If you are unable to collect your Student I.D card on the specific date and time held during the two day Induction, then please see guidance on where and when to collect your card: Student ID Card Information


Why Your ID Card Is Important

  • Provides access to certain buildings and facilities (e.g. printers, photocopiers, computer rooms).
  • Must be carried at all times on campus.
  • Used for examinations – you must place it on your desk during all face-to-face exams and copy your student number onto your script.
  • Functions as your library card.
  • May be required to confirm your attendance (e.g. scanning into lecture theatres).

Rules and Misuse

  • If you cannot produce your card when asked, or if staff cannot verify it belongs to you, you may be removed from the building.
  • Misuse of your card (e.g. lending it to others) will normally be investigated under the Code of Student Discipline: Student Misconduct Policy.

Lost or Stolen Cards

  • If your card is lost or stolen, you must obtain a replacement from the Student Enquiry Centre: How to get a new ID card.
  • A replacement fee will be charged (unless your card was stolen and you can provide a crime reference number).
