Student ID cards

Most Otago Polytechnic students are entitled to an Otago Polytechnic Students’ Association (OPSA)/ Otago Polytechnic (OP) Student ID card.

You can use this to access UNIPOL, Clubs & Socs, Student Job Search, the Robertson Library, OP computers, door access and much more…

Student Access ID Card

If you are not charged a Student Services Fee (Student Levy) when you enrol with us, you’ll be given a Student Access Card. This will be your library, door access and ID card.

TIP: You can pay a levy and upgrade your ID to include access to UNIPOL and OPSA Student Services.
