University Staff Cards

Obtaining a University Staff Card for the first time

Your department will generate a request for a staff card for you as a part of the new starters administration process. During this time you will be asked to upload a digital, passport-style photograph. This process will be activated once a HR Staff Record has been created.

Once you have completed the online registration process, you will be able to collect your staff card from the University Library at any time the Library is staffed.  Current and upcoming Libary opening and staffing hours are always available from the Library website.
