Students Starting New Courses 

Your NUIG Student ID Card will be your official identification card for the duration of your course at NUI Galway. The card that will be issued to you in September is expected to see you through your course whether it be a 3, 4 or 5 year course.

It is important that you look after this card as a replacement fee is €30.

(Note: students will receive a replacement student card free of charge in cases of a reported crime e.g. assault, burglary.)

To avail of the free replacement, students must, produce a copy of the Garda crime report.  The report must contain the investigating Garda name, Garda Pulse Incident Number and be signed by the Superintendent in charge).

All new students or students changing programme (e.g. going from a Bachelor degree to a Masters) will be issued with a new card.

Returning Students 

You will not get a new card in September. The card you were issued with last year will remain valid for the duration of your programme. To ensure the card is active for this current academic year you need to register online. If you have lost your card, it can be replaced in the Student Information Desk.

Replacement fee is €30.
