Student ID and concession cards

University Student ID Card

Each University of Notre Dame Australia student should have a University Student ID Card. You are eligible for a Student ID Card if you have a current UNDA enrolment and have been issued a student ID number.

University ID cards will allow you to:

  • prove your identity as a student on campus and at examinations
  • store monetary values for printing and photocopying in the Library (all monetary values on ID cards are non-refundable)
  • borrow books from University libraries

Once you have your ID Card, full time students can also register as a concession holder for SmartRider or Opal.

How to get a Student ID card

New students can collect their Student ID card during Orientation week on each campus. Please keep an eye out for the Student ID pop-up during Orientation.

Please bring a Photo ID (such as a driver’s license, passport, working with children’s check, proof of age card), your student ID number and be prepared to have your photo taken.

Can’t make it to Orientation, or need a replacement ID card?

Fremantle students can get their Student ID at the Student Admin offices in ND1 on Mouat Street.

Sydney students can get their Student ID at Sydney Reception in NDS5 (Pioneer House).

Make sure you bring a current form of ID so we can verify your identity.

Students studying online or who are unable to come to campus

Students who are studying online or who are unable to come to campus can have their Student ID card posted to them.

If your closest campus is Sydney, please email sydney.reception@nd.edu.au via your Notre Dame email address.

If your closest campus is Fremantle, please email student.admin@nd.edu.au via your Notre Dame email address.

In your email, you will need to:

  • Include your name and Student ID number
  • Attach a passport-sized headshot photo (with a plain background) in a ‘.jpg’ format
  • A scanned copy of an approved form of photo ID (i.e. a current driver's licence, passport, or government issued proof of age card).
  • Advise if you plan to collect your ID from Broadway or would like us to post it to your mailing address or your School Administration office (i.e. Darlinghurst campus) for collection.

Replacement ID cards

If you previously had a Notre Dame ID card and are now requesting a replacement, there is a $20 fee. Please make payment in advance via the Notre Dame Payment Gateway and either bring a copy of the receipt or send it in with your email request.
