Student Card:
Visit the Registry Information Point (opposite Finance) on Level 1 in order to receive your Student Card. Please note that you will need to have
completed matriculation in order to receive your card. You can complete Matriculation by using any of the computers in the Atrium or LRC or via the
QMU Website (www.qmu.ac.uk/registry/matriculation.htm). Please note that you must bring photographic ID in order to receive your Student Card.
You should also request a copy of the Guide to Student Services when you collect your card.
International fee paying students MUST bring their passport, original certificates and immigration documents or proof that a visa extension
application has been made to UKVI. It is not possible to issue a student card until the University can verify that you are legally permitted to study at
Queen Margaret University. You can also ask to speak to someone from the International Office when you are collecting your student card if you
have any enquiries.
