All students and permanent staff of The University of Western Australia are entitled to a UWA Campus Card.
New students receive a card as part of the enrolment process.
In 2001, the re-enrolling students have had their UWA Campus Cards preprinted ready for collection from Student Administration, in Hackett Hall. The UWA Campus Card can be used for identification on campus, building access, library use, electronic purses, Guild membership, Recreation and Fitness Centre memberships. Many members of the UWA community are neither permanent staff nor students, but they are still entitled to a UWA Campus Card. Other than 'Staff' and 'Student' cards there are also 'Visitor' cards, 'Library Special Member' cards, 'Department' cards, general 'Transaction' cards and 'Recreation Centre Community Member' cards. This card is for visiting staff or students requiring building access or library borrowing.
