What is a UWA Campus Card and what can I use it for?

Using your card

Your UWA Campus Card (student, staff or visitor card) is a multi-purpose smartcard, on the front of your card is your full legal name, UWA ID number, library barcode and photo. The chip inside your campus card does not store any personal information but it does allow the card to function, so please don't punch a hole in it.

Use your card for:

• Electronic access to buildings 
  Staff: your building access is activated when you make personal application to your School/Centre’s Administration Officer.
  Students: your building access is linked to your enrolment for the semester, and is automatic. However, you may need to visit your School if you need special access to a lab or study room.
• Payment for printing and copying (it cannot be used to pay for other things on campus or for Transperth fares)
• Library borrowing and electronic database access
• Identification on UWA premises
• Proof of identification for examinations 
• Indicate enrolment status to verify access to concessions (if applicable)
• Access Guild discounts (if applicable)
• Verify ownership of a Tertiary SmartRider (if applicable). Full-time students can access concession fares by registering their Tertiary SmartRider on studentConnect, you can't purchase a concession ticket with your student card. You can purchase a Tertiary SmartRider from the UWA Guild Bookshop.
