Student cards

Your first student card is free. 

To order your first student card

A new student card order process is in place from mid-March 2022.  You can order and collect your first student card in-person on campus:

1. Compete your COVIDSafe 2022 Training Module and Vaccination Status Documentation Form. It’s mandatory you complete these protocols before attending campus.
2. Go to a student card pick up location at RMIT City, Brunswick or Bundoora campus to have a card printed, in person. Please bring with you your formal ID (drivers license, passport, etc) so we can confirm your details.

Please allow at least 15-20 minutes for your card to be printed.

If you lose your card or it is stolen, you can get a replacement student card. You must be currently enrolled in an RMIT program to be eligible for a replacement student card. 

A replacement card costs $15 which must be paid by the student. 

Please note: The $15 replacement card cost is currently being waived but will be reinstated from Tuesday 26 April 2022. This cost will also apply if you forget to bring your student card to campus and require a replacement card to access campus under COVID campus protocols.

To order your replacement student card

1. Report the loss or theft to Campus Security as a matter of urgency. Campus Security will immediately deactivate the card. Until you report your card to Security and order a replacement card, any misuse of your card will remain your responsibility.
2. To order a replacement card, complete and submit a Student card request via the RMIT Connect Portal (login required). In the description field please put ‘Replacement card’ and state the campus where you would like to pick up your card: City, Brunswick or Bundoora West. If you do not state your preferred pick up location it will default to the City campus.

You will receive an email to your RMIT student email account when your card is ready for collection from campus (see Student card pick up locations). Most replacement cards will be ready for collection within 3 working days, however it may take longer during peak times.

If your student card has expired, or is due to expire soon, and you are still a current RMIT student, you can order a new card by completing the Expired Card Replacement Form.

Once your card is ready, an email will be sent to your RMIT student email account letting you know it is ready for collection from campus (see Student card pick up locations). Most replacement cards will be ready for collection within 3 working days, however it may take longer during peak times.

RMIT Online and OUA students can order a student card by following these steps:

1. Check and update your address and personal details, if needed. You must have an Australian mailing address to order a student card
2. Open a Student Card Enquiry in the RMIT Student Connect Portal (login required)
3. Complete the fields in the form
4. Select Add attachment and upload:
   • A colour passport-style photo in JPG format that meets Australian Passport Photo Guidelines
   • A copy of your photo ID, such as Driver’s license, Passport or Key Pass so we can verify your identity
5. Click Submit to log your request
   

We will print and post your card to your Australian mailing address. Most students receive their student card within 5 business days. However, it may take longer during peak times for Australia Post.

After ordering a student card (see Order your first card, Replace a lost or stolen card, or Replace an expired card), students can collect their cards from the locations on campus listed below.

Important: Before you come onto campus to collect your card, you must compete your COVIDSafe 2022 Training Module and Vaccination Status Documentation Form. You cannot attend campus without completing both steps.
