It's my first time on campus, how will I collect my student ID card?

You’ll need to complete the following Stages of enrolment before you can collect your student ID card.

• Stage 1: Online enrolment

• Stage 2: Essential training

• Stage 3: Right to Study check (for students who do not hold British or Irish nationality).

The Right to Study check ensures that international students hold an appropriate immigration status to study in the UK. Even if you hold settled status or have an indefinite leave to remain, you’re still required to complete the Right to Study check. 

You should complete your Right to Study check as soon as you arrive in the UK. You can do this by logging into Student Records with your K number and password and clicking on the ‘Right to Study check’ tab at the top of the screen.

Important to know: 

• You’ll only be able to collect your student ID card once your Right to Study check has been approved by the Visa compliance team.   ​​​​​

• Most Right to Study checks are confirmed within two working days. However, if your case is more complex or if we need to follow up for missing or incorrect information, it may take longer.

After your Right to Study check is confirmed, you'll receive a Right to Study check confirmation email, which will contain a link to book your student ID card collection slot. It usually takes two working days after submitting your Right to Study check to receive this email, but complex cases may take longer.

Important to know: You will not be able to collect your student ID card before receiving the Right to Study check confirmation email. This email will contain a link allowing you to book a slot to collect your student ID card. If your Right to Study check confirmation email did not contain a booking link, please look at the Other Student ID card questions section below.

Please ensure you arrive a few minutes before your booked time slot.

There's a campus glossary to help you decode room names.

If you're studying on a King's Digital programme, you don't need a student ID card. However, if you’re in London and you would like a student ID card, you can collect one once you've completed stages 1 and 2 of enrolment. You can then book your collection slot online, following the instructions for British and Irish nationals outlined above. 

Important to know: as you're a King's Digital student, you do not need to complete a Right to Study check, regardless of your nationality. This means that all King's Digital students should follow the same ID card collection process as British and Irish nationals.
