Student Rules & ID Policy
As a student, you will need to have an identification (ID) card. ID cards enable you to access many resources and facilities available at Southbank Institute of Technology. In addition, you can use your ID to get discounts off public transport and leisure and entertainment facilities.
Compulsory use of ID cards
An ID card is compulsory:
- if you are studying an on-campus course
- when requested by a security officer whilst on campus
- when accessing institute library borrower facilities
- when sitting for assessment.
Student discounts
You can use your card in the institute photocopying and printing facilities, for travel discounts (for full-time students in an Austudy approved course) and at participating retailers.
Students can also use their ID card to receive their student discount on course text books purchased at the bookshop on each campus.
If you are studying an Austudy approved course full time, you are eligible for transport concessions and your ID card will be endorsed with the Queensland Rail (QR) symbol.
Cost of student ID cards
In order to obtain a student ID card, you must be an enrolled student. The ID card will be valid for the length of your program. The cost of the card is incorporated in the annual administration fee.
Should your card be lost or stolen, the replacement cost will be $14.
Photo session timetable
The student ID photo session timetable lists the times and locations for ID photo sessions. You can attend the time and location that best suits you but remember to bring photo identification and confirmation of your enrolment.

Re-enrolling students
Your ID card is valid for institute use (eg. library borrowing) while you are enrolled in a Southbank Institute of Technology course (regardless of transport concession expiry date which is listed above the QR symbol on your ID card).
If your QR symbol has expired, to verify your continued eligibility for transport concessions, you must obtain a new ID card. An ID card reprint can be obtained from the Student Services Centre, or by phoning 13 72 48.
