A person who registers for the first time as a student is given a student card (photo identity card). The student card is an electronic magnetic card, which identifies you as a student.

No student will be permitted to attend classes or write examinations without a student card. It is therefore important that you safeguard your student card.

Returning students keep the student cards issued to them in their first year of registration and are required to produce their student card on each concurrent registration in order to have it renewed.
