Who is entitled to a Staff Identity Card?

All staff holding a permanent position or a contract of employment of more than three months with the University will be issued with a University Identity Card.

Staff holding a casual or casual contract (tutoring or part-time teacher) position are ineligible for a Card but may obtain a library borrowing card from the Barr Smith Library.

Departments who wish their casual staff members to hold an Identity Card may authorise and pay for such a card.

Building Access

Card Services processes all valid requests for building access. If you require building access to a particular area, see your departmental Access Control Delegate who will provide you with an authorised Access Request Form, also available for download. This form should then be delivered to Card Services in person, by internal mail or faxed to 8303 8096 for processing.

If a form needs to be processed within a few hours (for example on a Friday afternoon for weekend access), the access request form must be submitted by 4pm. Card Services will attempt to process all urgent requests where reasonable.

An Access Control Delegate or Reserve Delegate may request that access privileges be removed by indicating as much on an Access Request Form, which should also be returned to Card Services.

Visitors to the University may also be entitled to building access, if authorised by an Access Control Delegate. Visitors, or the authorising area, must purchase a visitor card for a fee onto which the access privileges can be encoded.

Visitor Cards will remain active unless the Access Control Delegate has notified Card Services to deactivate the access.

Library Card

The ID Card entitles you to borrow books from the University of Adelaide Library (comprising the Barr Smith Library, Law Library and Elder School Library on the North Terrace Campus and libraries on Waite and Roseworthy campuses), to access E-Resources on line and to operate the photocopying and printing facilities in the Library. For further information on library borrowing privileges and services please see the University of Adelaide Library.
