1.6. Student ID Card

You will receive a Queen Mary photo-identity (ID) card when you arrive on campus and complete enrolment. This card is very important and must be carried at all times while on QMUL property. If you do not produce the card upon request and satisfy staff that it is yours by showing the photograph, then you may be removed from a building or from campus. Misuse of your card will lead to an investigation under the Student Discipline Policy.

You must have your ID card in your possession during all examinations, and must display it for inspection by invigilators. The card shows your student number, which must also appear on your examination script.

The ID card serves as your library card and as an access card for certain buildings and equipment (such as printers and photocopiers). Some buildings have security points at which you must show your card, and others require you to scan your card to release the doors.

Again, it is vital that you keep your card safe and with you at all times while on campus. If you lose your card, or if it is stolen, then you should contact the AskQM Frontline Enquiry Team for assistance in deactivating it and obtaining a new one. A fee is charged to replace lost ID Cards.

It is essential that Queen Mary holds up-to-date personal details for all students. You can update your address and contact details using MySIS, but a change in name must be done in person with the AskQM Frontline Enquiry Team (with accompanying documentation).
