Campus card collection
Receiving your campus card is one of the most iconic moments of your welcome experience, and for many it’ll be the first time that you feel truly like a University of Surrey student!
Therefore, we recommend you collect your campus card as soon as possible!
Your campus card is your personalised ID to prove that you are a proud Surrey student, but it also gets you access to the Library and other campus spaces, plus unlocks discounts in a range of stores and retailers.
Important: who should attend campus card collection
Important note: if you are not given the option to upload your campus card photo during online registration, you can submit a campus card request form to have your card produced and printed for collection at the Library. Please ensure you have accessed and protected your IT account first.
