Student Card / UCard
All students must now go to the UCard Bureau for new, lost, stolen or broken student cards (UCards). The UCard Bureau is located behind Readers’ Café in the Library building. Please see the map below. Contact the UCard Bureau directly here
Your UCD student card is now your UCARD on campus:
As well as being the single most important piece of ID you possess during your time here, your student card, now called UCARD, gives you access to a range of university facilities including:
- access to the library
- the facility to borrow books from the library
- admission to UCD student facilities
- printing at Copi-Print stations
- purchasing food in the restaurant
- paying for your laundry if your are in campus accommodation
In addition to this, your UCARD will be accepted as official identification in the following situations:
- when required to confirm that you are a student in UCD (for example, to get a certificate of attendance or a form stamped at the Student Desk)
- if a member of staff requests it as proof of identity. A member of staff is also entitled to retain the card if they feel it necessary. However you must be provided with a receipt if this occurs
Your UCARD may also be required in other circumstances and for access to other facilities. Please note that UCARDs are not required for access to Blackboard or for electronic journals on the library website.
Your UCARD is non-transferable, and remains the property of the University at all times. If you decide to withdraw during the course of your programme, on either a permanent or a temporary basis, you must return your UCARD.
For Part-time Students who are only on campus periodically speak to your course coordinator or mail the UCARD office direct on ucard@ucd.ie
