Student ID cards
UWE Bristol’s student ID cards act as proof of your student status and entitle you to access and use campus facilities, such as our libraries. You should always keep your card with you while you are on a UWE Bristol campus.
New students
Before you collect your ID card
We can only print your ID card if you have added your photo to MYUWE.
To avoid delays, upload your photo as soon as you receive login details. For help, go to our student card guidance.
Printing your ID card
To make sure your card can be printed, upload your photo at least two working days before collection.
Collecting your ID card
Collect your ID card from the campus where you study, unless advised otherwise. You will need photo identification to collect your UWE Bristol ID card. For example, your:
- passport
- national identity card
- driving licence
- BRP
- other photo ID card.
