University Card

The University Card is a multi-function state of the art card that can be issued to all students, staff and associates. This card is specific to the University of Nottingham and contains a combination of Mifare proximity chip, magstripe and barcode technologies. The student, staff and associate cards vary in layout slightly, but both contain key information that is utilised by a number of systems around the University, such as:

Cardholder's name, photograph, group type (i.e. student, staff or associate), library category, library card number and student number/start date (for students) or issue date (for staff). Additionally, the student card has the Students' Union logo. The functions of the University Card are as follows:

 

• Means of identification
• Library card
• Building access card
• Bus card (on NCT services)
• Sports Centre card

 Other uses:

• Online library borrowing
• Photocopying authorisation
