The Monash Student Card is an optional physical card that can be used on and off campus as a form of identification (e.g. at Australia Post, Vic Roads, banks, public transport, student discounts).

The Student Card does not have the same capabilities as the M-Pass (accessing buildings, borrowing from the library, paying for printing and photocopying) or provide benefits beyond those offered by the M-Pass, and so should not be used as a replacement.

The card will contain your legal name, student ID number, expiry date, photograph, barcode and the Monash University logo.
