Library Welcome Guide: ID Cards

This is your portal to information, resources and services to assist your studies.

Your student ID card is your library card.

Important information about ID cards

  • With a current student ID card you can get a wide range of student discounts.  However, be aware that a student discount is usually not available in conjunction with any other offers e.g. sale items or special promotions. 
  • For on campus students one ID per year is paid for within your course costs.  If your ID card is lost, you must pay $25 at main reception before getting a replacement card printed at Facilities or the SIT Library.
  • For on campus students your ID card provides electronic door access.
  • To use the photocopiers you must bring your student ID card.        
  • To add credit to your student ID card top up with cash, eftpos or credit card at main reception.
