Victoria University of Wellington Student Card Photo

Victoria University of Wellington ID card is used as proof of identity which enables students to take advantage of certain benefits such as discounts. You must have a current student ID card to enroll with our IT services, use the printers and photocopiers, borrow library books, collect assignments, enter examinations, make faculty office visits to request documentation such as transcripts, fees, assessments, and to add or drop courses, receive discounts for the cable car, some movie theatres, and restaurants.

Supplying your photo

There are three ways to supply a photo for your student ID:

• Submit a photo through the Online Enrolment System (OES) when you apply.
• supply a photo through the post to the Enrolment Office.
• Email a .jpeg file to [email protected] with your full name, date of birth, and student ID number. This allows you to quickly collect your ID card from the Kelburn campus.

Student card photo requirements

All student ID card photos must meet these requirements:

• File type: .jpg or .jpeg.
• Include your whole face, facing forward.
• The photo is full colour and good clarity.
• No hats or sunglasses.
• No logos or icons.
• No other people visible in the photo.

Access on your student ID card

Access is granted 10 days before the start date of your course if you are fully enrolled and have paid your fees (or have arranged payment with the Fees team). Your access will continue until 10 days after the end of your course date.

Access is revoked if you receive a fees hold on your account, withdraw from a course, or are not currently enrolled in any courses.

Replacement student ID cards

Your first student ID card is free. There is a $21 fee for replacing lost or damaged cards. An exception to the replacement fee may be made under the following circumstances:

• Your student ID card is faulty (to be tested by Enrolment Office staff).

All other exceptions to the replacement fee must be approved by the enrolment manager.
