How do I prove my identity in an exam?

When attending an exam, you must prove your identity by displaying your University ID card on your exam desk.

You can use either:

  • Your physical University ID card
  • Your virtual University ID card

No other form of identification will be accepted.

Your ID card must:

  • Show a clear, recognisable photograph
  • Be legible and undamaged

ID cards that have been defaced or do not contain a recognisable photo cannot be accepted as proof of identity.

 How do I replace my ID card?

If your ID card has been lost, stolen or damaged, you can find information about obtaining a replacement ID card below:

If you need proof of identity for an upcoming exam, make sure you arrange a replacement or temporary ID as soon as possible.
