Getting a SAS Card

SAS Cards for new and continuing students will be prepared in advance and issued by the School on registration.

Members of staff will need to take an authorised ID Card Form (issued by your Institute) to the ID Card Office in Senate House South Block, where your photograph will be taken and the card created. The process takes approximately 10 minutes.

ID Cards are obtained from South Block reception of Senate House.
