7.2.1 Staff identification cards

It is University policy that each staff member carry a staff identification card.

Staff identification cards comprise a photograph of the staff member, typed details of their name and an expiry date. The card ensures that staff can easily establish their identity when working after hours. The card is also required for borrowing library resources, obtaining a QUT-Access username and password, and providing authorised personnel with swipe access to rooms or buildings which use the electronic card access system. Cards are issued by Student Centres on each campus.

Further information is available on the Student Services website.
