Student ID Cards

Student ID Card – Photograph Requirements

Once your enrolment is complete, we will need a photograph of you to produce your student ID Card.

Photograph requirements are:

A clear photo of you and only you. A selfie is sufficient. Your face is centred, is from the shoulders up, is a full face view (no hat, hoodies etc) and has a clear and blank background. Submitted images can be in most standard format i.e jpeg, png etc.

Once you have the digital photo Hamilton students email it to [email protected] and Tauranga student email it to [email protected] with your full name and Student ID number.

Keep your contact details up-to-date so we can keep in touch. You can do this easily through MyWaikato, by selecting your name in the top right-hand corner and choosing Edit Details.

Some of your details can only be changed by request - follow the onscreen prompts to make changes.

Our Student Centre Team can also help you update your contact details and answer any questions you may have.  You can contact them by selecting the Log Enquiry button, or you can call them on 0800 WAIKATO (0800 924 528) or +64 7 856 2889 from overseas. Remember to have your Student ID number handy.
