Student ID cards

Your student ID card is used in the library, for printing and photocopying, for building access and as ID during exams.

Ordering your card

If you're a new student, you can order your student ID card online the day after you enrol in one or more subjects at La Trobe.

After you place your order, you'll receive a confirmation email to your student email address. You'll receive another email a few days later (this can be up to a week at peak times) to tell you if your submitted photo has been approved or not.

Please note: If you need proof of your enrolment, you can also use your Statement of Account.

Collecting your card

Please allow 3 working days for your ID card to be ready for collection at Bendigo and Bundoora campuses, and 5 to 7 working days on all other campuses (as cards are posted to city and regional campuses). Please bring a government-issued photo ID like a passport or a drivers licence. If your photo is rejected, you will need to use the link above again and submit a new photo.

If you have a question about your card please email us at studentcards@latrobe.edu.au

You must order your ID card before coming to collect it from the ASK La Trobe Help Zone at your campus.

Please note: Student ID cards on the Bundoora Campus can be collected from the Infrastructure and Operations office in the Agora (located next to the IGA).
