The error appears when you have not enrolled in at least one unit. Please enrol via eStudent before proceeding to order your first campus card. If this issue persists, please contact Service Connect for assistance.

After uploading your photo to CaptureMe, please check your Macquarie University student email account for an email from CaptureMe advising the status of your request. If your photo has not been approved, you will need to upload a new photo. You can find tips for providing an acceptable photo under "How do I get a Campus Card?" in the section above.

Once your photo is approved, the next step is to order and pay for your replacement Campus Card by following the links under "Replacements cards" in the section below.

Note: if you wish to use your existing photo, you can simply order and pay for a replacement Campus Card without uploading a new photo to CaptureMe.

No, you do not need a new Campus Card if you are continuing on to a postgraduate coursework degree. Your existing card will become ‘active’ again once you are enrolled into units under your new degree, and if eligible, your card will be automatically coded for swipe access to the Library’s postgraduate study space.

If you are a postgraduate research student, you may require a new Campus Card if you have been issued a Staff ID.
No, you don't need two separate cards. Once you become a staff member you can request a staff campus card through Capture Me, then visit Service Connect to collect your card once ready. Both your student and staff OneID will appear on your new card.

Contact the IT Service Desk.

You will not have access to the Library with your existing student Campus Card. You will need to request an alumni card via the Library page.
