Student cards

Before you can collect a student card, you must:

• Enrol in your full course or research load for this study period
• Action any outstanding tasks on your ISIS account (e.g. Task Wizard, Commonwealth Assistance Forms, overdue fees)

Need help? 

• Detailed enrolment instructions: Enrolment landing page
• Commencing HDR students: Finalising your research enrolment 
• Academic advice including course selection and program planning: contact your ANU Academic College
• Assistance navigating ISIS: contact Student Central

Once your enrolment and ISIS account are up to date, you can collect your card from Student Central. We'll take your photo and print the card for you on the spot, no appointment or application is needed. 

• Location: Student Central Annexure (Shop 14, Building 154, Kambri)
• Opening hours: see the Student Central homepage 
• What to bring: government-issued photo identification (e.g. driver's license, passport) 

Your ANU student card is your official form of identification as a student at ANU. It gives you access to a range of services on campus like borrowing rights for ANU libraries, access to printers, copiers, computer labs and examination venues. Your card may also give you access to student discounts at participating locations (e.g. public transport).

Conditions of use:

• Your card must be presented to ANU staff including ANU Unisafe officers upon request.
• Your card remains the property of ANU. You're expected to keep it in good condition and return it to ANU if requested.
• Your card is not transferrable and only the person named on the card is permitted to use it. 
• You may only have one student card at a time. 

You do not need to pay a replacement fee if you are requesting:

• your first student card as a new student
• replacement of a damaged student card*
• extension of an expired student card *

A replacement fee of $30 will be charged if your student card is lost or stolen**. This fee will need to be paid before a new card will be issued.

You can pay this fee on ISIS via the pathway: 

• NavBar (compass icon) > Menu > ISIS > Account Details > Miscellaneous Purchases
  • click on the magnifying glass for the Semester/Session box and select the Summer Session term
  • click on the magnifying glass for 'Select Miscellaneous Purchases' and select SCR (Student Card Replacement)

* The replacement fee will be charged if you do not bring your damaged or expired card with you.
** The replacement fee will be waived upon presentation of a police report documenting the theft.

Your preferred name will be used on your student card. You can update your preferred name yourself on ISIS via the pathway:

• NavBar (compass icon) > Menu > ISIS > Personal Details > Personal Information

Please visit the Change or Correct Your Name webpage for detailed instructions on updating your preferred name or official university record.  

No, we don't provide the option to upload a photo for your student card. A staff member will take your photo when you attend our service in person. 

We'll do the best we can to make sure you're comfortable with the image used, but can't reprint a card for you if you're not happy with how you look in the photo. 

Bring your expired student card to the Student Central Annexure to have your card expiry extended by 1 year. You must bring your expired card with you. 

If you don't have your expired card anymore, you'll need to purchase a replacement card.
