Student ID cards
As part of your online enrolment, you will be asked to upload a photograph to display on your University of Bradford student card. This card acknowledges your status as a student at the University and will display your name, photo, and student ID number.
This card will be valid for the duration of your course as long as you remain enrolled as a student. You will need this card to access buildings on campus, the University library and to print and photocopy documents. This step is necessary for your student card to be issued.
The image you upload must meet the requirements listed below, otherwise it will be rejected and you will be asked to upload a new one.
