If you have lost your student card, please purchase a replacement from the e-store: Replacement for Lost Student Card - University of Manchester

You can pay for postage or collect your card from the Student Services Centre for no additional cost. You will receive an email confirmation with your booking number, beginning with MAN, please have this ready when collecting your card.
