Student Handbook 2024/25
5. Use of Queen Mary ID Card
New students will be invited to collect a Queen Mary photo-identity (ID) card upon full or temporary enrolment. Guidance on where and when to collect your card can be be found here: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/newstudents/enrolment/student-id/. This card is very important, and must be carried at all times on campus. If you do not produce this card upon request and satisfy staff that it is your card through comparison of your face and the photograph, you may be removed from the building, or from campus. Misuse of your card will normally lead to an investigation under the Code of Student Discipline (http://www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/students/student-appeals/misconduct/)
The card shows your student number. You must take your card into all face-to-face examinations, and display it on your desk for inspection. You will also need to copy the student number onto your paper.
The card also serves as your library card, and as an access card for certain buildings and equipment (such as printers and photocopiers). Many buildings have security points at which you must show your card, and others require you to scan your card to release the doors.
You may also be required to present your card to confirm your attendance (e.g you may need to touch your card on a reader in a lecture theatre).
It is vital that you keep your card safe and with you at all times on campus. If you lose your card, or if your card is stolen, you should obtain a replacement from the Student Enquiry Centre (http://www.arcs.qmul.ac.uk/students/sec/student-card/index.html). A fee is charged to replace lost ID Cards.
