Student ID Cards

Once you have enrolled, you are entitled to receive your student ID Card. Your ID Card establishes you as a student of the institute and allows you certain rights and obligations. You will find your card useful in obtaining student concessions and discount rates for the purchase of textbooks, conference and seminar attendance, the cinema and other entertainment events and venues.

ID Cards will be issued during the first two weeks of class. See the Student Services Department for details.

Please Note: International Students are not eligible for public transport concession.

You will need to give a photocopy of the medical certificate to your teacher and keep the original to provide to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) if they request it.
