Collecting your ID card
When you arrive on campus, you will need to collect your new student ID card to complete the registration process and officially enrol at Loughborough University. Your new student ID card will provide access to buildings across the campus, including the library, halls of residence and the Students’ Union. It also proves your student status.
Student ID card collection points
The steps below will help you work out how and where to collect your ID card. Further details about the International Registration and Card Collection Events will only become live closer to the event.
UK/Irish students (UK fee status) in University halls of residence
If you are paying UK tuition fees and are a UK or Irish national, your identity will be confirmed and you will receive your ID card when you check into your halls of residence.
UK/Irish students (UK fee status) at the Loughborough campus
If you are paying UK tuition fees and are a UK or Irish national but will be living in private sector accommodation, you will need to book an appointment at our Card Collection Event to complete your registration. At your appointment we will confirm your identity and issue you with your student ID Card.
All other students at the Loughborough campus
If you are paying international tuition fees, are a national of a country other than the UK or Republic of Ireland, or have any form of immigration permission/visa to reside in the UK (including Indefinite Leave to Remain), you will need to book an appointment at our International Student Registration Event to complete your registration. At your appointment, your right to study in the UK will be confirmed and you will receive your student ID card and, if applicable, your Student Visa Biometric Residence Permit (if you have asked for it to be sent to Loughborough University).
