What's on my campus card?
Your campus card is much more than a piece of plastic used for ID purposes.
There's a lot of information on your card and here we explain all of the important bits you need to know about what's on your campus card and what it all means.
Your card has a ton of information on it, both printed and digital. Below we outline what is physically printed on your card.
If you spot any mistakes, we would recommend you submit an enquiry on Compass and our Gateway Enquiry team will be able to advise further
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Your Name | The name on your card will show your full legal name confirmed at enrolment. In some cases, this may be shortened to only include your first forename and surname. |
| Your Photograph | The photograph on your card is the photo you uploaded on Selfcare. |
| Print Date | To the top right of the card, you will see the date of print for your card. This can come in handy if you ever need to reprint, as you’ll be able to identify the newest one. |
| Course Code | This is used internally for staff to identify what programme you're on. Don't worry if you transfer though, as this is just printed on your card for staff reference only. Your card will still work for your new course. |
| Student Number | This is your student number, not to be confused with your User ID. It's your long number. |
| Expiry Date | The expiry date on your card is made up of your expected course end date with a little grace period. Don't worry if you're still studying with us as we'll automatically produce a new card for you on the date of expiration. |
| Library Barcode | The barcode displayed on your card is for library purposes for when you need to borrow specific resources. |
