Question:
Why is having a Ucard important?
Answer:
Your UCard has many uses and you should carry it with you at all times. You may be asked to show your card frequently; as it provides proof of identity and contains details of your student status and membership of the Union of Students. It also acts as a library card, opens electronic locks to gain access to some buildings and is needed to use the pre-pay photocopying and printing services in IT Centres and in the Library.
