On your First Day

The changes to working arrangements have affected some of our processes. Further details and latest updates can be found on our Coronavirus Guidance pages.

What you need to know

Staff ID Cards

Please note: Due to the current working arrangements, new staff need to phone Customer Services to obtain staff ID details. You will need to quote your staff number (from your confirmation letter), and answer some security questions before being provided with further details.

For the purpose of security, all University employees are issued with a Staff ID card. Your card will be issued to you by Library & Information Centre (no.7 on the Singleton Park Campus map, no.5 on the Bay Campus map).

Please report to the Issue Desk in the Library & Information Centre between 10.00 – 12.00 and 14.00 – 16.00 Monday - Friday. You should take your appointment letter and a form of photographic I.D. along with you as means as identification.

For any further queries please contact your card access administrator by using the table below

Car Parking and Travel

If you would like to park on campus, you need to obtain a car parking permit from the Estates and Facilities Reception. 

You can also speak to the Estates reception to gain more details on obtaining a parking permit, car sharing and staff bus pass schemes.
