Detailed induction process
Student ID cards
SRUC students are entitled to a matriculation card that shows you are a student at SRUC. There are two types of cards available to students. The first is a small plastic digitally capable card (matriculation card) that shows your image and you study details but is also digitally linked to SRUC campus systems such as the photocopiers and the lapsafe system which allows you to borrow laptops whilst on campus.
Additionally, SRUC offers a new digital ID card on your phone - intended to complement your matriculation card, and which can be used as an alternative in many situations but it does not link to Campus systems such as the photocopier or the lapsafe system.
Once you have registered as an SRUC student, you will be able to download the phone-based digital ID card through the mySRUC App. Your plastic matriculation card will be given or sent to you when it is printed out.
Policies & declarations
As part of the registration process, you will be required to read a number of SRUC policies that you need to follow while an SRUC student. You will need to tick a box during your online registration process to declare that you have read them and will abide by them.
These policies are:
- Acceptable use of IDS facilities
- Turn it In declaration
- Equality, Diversity, & Inclusion policy
- HESA collection notice
- Student declaration and undertaking
A copy of these policies will also be available for you to read while completing your online registration, but should you want to read them in advance to save time later, you are welcome to do so now.
