STA Student Handbook (Taught Programmes) 2025/26
2025-26 Handbook for STA Undergraduate Students
This is where you will find all the information, rules, and explanations you need during your time as a student in STA.
You are expected to know the information in this booklet-- it is your responsibility to read it and refer to it as necessary.
Your QMUL student ID card
The card shows your photo, your name, your course and your student number. 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. The card shows your student number. You must include this number on any written assignment you submit, including exam papers if applicable. Misuse of your card will normally lead to an investigation under the Code of Student Discipline
Where can I get my student id card?
During Welcome Week, you will be invited to go to the Octagon venue on the Ground floor of the Queens Building at a specific date and time to collect your card. After Welcome Week you can collect your QMUL ID card from the Student Enquiry Centre (in the IQ East Court building) to pick up your there.
At exams
You must take your card into all in-person examinations, and display it on your table for inspection. You will also need to copy the Student Number onto your paper, even with online exams.
Library access
The card also serves as your library card. You will need it to enter and exit the building, and to check out any books or materials.
On campus
Many buildings have security points at which you must show your card, and others require you to scan your card to release the doors. Students in the School have card access to the front and side doors of the Arts One Building from 8 am - 6 pm Monday to Friday.
Printing and copying
Your ID card allows you to use the printers and photocopiers for students on campus.
What if I lose my card?
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 must go to the Student Enquiry Centre(Queens' Building) to report it. Any found cards are taken there, so they may have your card already. A fee will be charged to replace lost ID Cards.
You can find more information on the Registry webpages.
