As a City St George's student, you are required to carry your University ID card on campus.

Your University ID is your campus essential - it shows you're part of City St George's, gets you into buildings, and helps keep everyone here safe. Find out why it's important to carry with you and what to do if you've forgotten/lost your card.

New security gates have been installed at key entrances across Clerkenwell and Moorgate campuses. This improvement directly responds to student feedback and helps support a safe environment for everyone.

Why carrying your University ID matters

Wearing it visibly helps you:

  • Get into buildings and move around campus easily
  • Access your classes without delays
  • Show you're part of the City St George's community
  • Keep campus safe for everyone

Security may ask you to present your University ID card. This quick check helps make sure everyone on campus belongs.

Campus Security are on duty 24/7 to help keep everyone safe. You can find their phone number on the back of your ID card and call the team anytime:

Clerkenwell & Moorgate

  • Emergency: 020 7040 3333
  • Safety advice: 020 7040 8047

Collect a free lanyard

Please wear your University ID card visibly while you are on campus. A lanyard or clip on card holder makes this easy. You can collect a free lanyard from the Student Support Hub in Drysdale Level 1 or from the Students' Union located in Drysdale Building Level 2 (follow the signs from the Student Support Hub).

Check visitors and prevent tailgating

Avoid holding doors to restricted areas open for people you don't know. If you feel that a person is trying to gain entry behind you and they don't have a University ID card on display, let a member of staff or security know. You will find key contacts on the back of your ID card.
