University of South Africa Student Card

A University of South Africa student card vs a University of South Africa access card

University of South Africa student card

All registered University of South Africa students will receive a paper student card as part of their first study pack for the academic year. Your student card confirms that you are a University of South Africa student and (accompanied by your ID or passport) grants you access to University of South Africa examinations, and so on.

If you lose your student card, you can request another one by sending an e-mail to [email protected]

University of South Africa access card

A University of South Africa access card is NOT compulsory. You only need a University of South Africa access card if you want to access the University of South Africa Library.

You do NOT need a University of South Africa access card to register on myUniversity of South Africa or to claim your myLife e-mail account. Click here for more information on how to claim your myUniversity of South Africa and myLife e-mail accounts.

What is the process should you want to apply for a University of South Africa access card at the Muckleneuk or Science Campuses?

The card issuing stations at the Muckleneuk and Sciences Campuses can only issue a limited number of cards per day. You will, therefore, be issued with a number when you arrive at the office. The queue will be limited to a specific number of students per day. If you do not receive a number when you arrive at the office, you will have to return the following day for assistance.
