• Ensure that your NUIG student card is retained solely for
  your own use.
  
• Always carry your NUIG student card while on the NUIG campus.

• Ensure that the photograph on your NUIG student card is an acceptable form of identification as outlined in the photograph guidelines below.
  
• Present your NUIG student card whenever requested to do so by a member of NUIG staff. A member of staff
  is also entitled to retain the card if they feel it necessary.
  
• Ensure that if you withdraw from the University during the course of an academic year, on either a permanent or temporary basis, you return your NUIG student card to the Student Information Desk.
  
• Be aware that if your NUIG student card is lost or stolen, you are obliged to inform the University immediately, so that the appropriate precautions can be taken to ensure that your card is not used without your consent.
