Student ID cards
Student ID Cards cost $5 each, and expire at the end date of the programme which a student is enrolled in. These are for all full-time and part-time students who request them. We print them on-site.
You can order an ID card by visiting the Programme Support office on-site or, by calling Programme Support on 0800 278 789 or emailing us on ps@tlc.ac.nz.
Student ID cards may be used for student discounts where available; ask at banks, art shops, cinemas, Westpac stadium, Gordon Harris and other art shops, Wellington theatres and Ticketek, doctors, dentists, STA travel and Intercity Coachlines.
