The UNSW student card provides physical access to borrowing from the UNSW library on the Kensington campus (useful for those of you who travel to Sydney and perhaps wish to use this resource while you are here), and also provides access to the AGSM building for those who have classes at Kensington. Unfortunately the card does not have a photo on it and is limited in its use as a form of identification. The card does not make you eligible for tertiary student concession travel.

If you attend classes in Sydney CBD, North Ryde, North Sydney, Parramatta, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Perth or online (GCCM/Web based class), please reply to this email with your UNSW ID and full name if you would like a card produced for you*. Please email your request to studentexperience@agsm.edu.au by Wednesday 2 February.

*NB: All Kensington campus students (including ‘Intensive’ students) will automatically receive a UNSW student card by Monday 7^th February, if they have not already received one.

Key Dates

A list of key dates for 2011 is available in the Student Resources section of the AGSM MBA Programs Website
