You must be either fully or temporary enrolled before attempting to collect your ID card and will need to tell/show us your student ID number. This is a 9 digit number which, for new students starting in 2024/25, starts with '24' or '25' e.g., '241234567'.
You can find your enrolment status and ID number on your MySIS homepage. We recommend taking a screenshot of it before visiting us so that you have it ready to show.
