Your residences card
Last updated: 11/08/2025 09:30
You will be issued with a residences card on your arrival.
When you are on University premises, you're required to carry your residences card and to produce it along with your student ID card to prove identity in accordance with University policy and guidance.
You'll also need to show both your residences card and student ID card:
- to collect parcels and registered mail from your residences reception
- when you are locked out of your room or need to obtain a replacement key/key card
- to use the bus service between University Hall and Cathays campus or Heath Park campus.
