When and where?
On and off campus students can order their JCU student ID card online by logging in with their JC number and password and uploading their own photo.
You will receive an email once your photo has been approved and your ID card will be posted to your nominated postal address in eStudent. It is recommended that students order their ID card as soon as they have enrolled.
Make sure your photo is only of you and meets the below requirements:
- Clear, focused image with no marks or “red eye”;
- White or light-coloured background that contrasts with the face;
- Face looking directly at the camera and not tilted in any direction;
- Eyes open with either a neutral expression or natural smile.
What do I need?
To obtain your JCU student ID card you will need:
- To be enrolled in at least one subject
- Have photo identification when collecting your ID Card (e.g. driver's licence or passport)
- Your eight digit JCU student ID number. It can be found by logging into StudentsOnline (located in top left-hand corner), on your offer email, or your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) if you are an international student.
Your Placement Team will send you a link to an online Clinical Placement Card request form. Once the request and payment is received, these will be posted to a nominated address.

Replacement card: $5

- Damaged cards. Cost: $15
