UNIVERSITY CARDS

New students should collect their card as soon as they come into residence at the beginning of the year. The card is used in the College Library and other libraries within the University and gives access to some University departments.

Cards are issued by the Tutorial and Admissions Office. If you lose your card for any reason, you should immediately inform the This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and a replacement card will be ordered for you from the University Card Service. A charge is made for all replacement cards (see Fees and Charges). Remember that all purchases made using your card will be charged to your account, so it is in your own interest to make sure that your lost card is reported to the Tutorial and Admissions Office as soon as possible for cancellation by the University Card Service.

Your University Card can also be used to access catering services in the Servery and Butterfield Cafe, although you may pay by cash. If you do pay by cash and cannot produce identification showing that you are a Downing student, you will be charged an additional fixed charge per meal (see Fees and Charges). If you cannot prove you are a student at the University the charge will also be subject to VAT. You will find that it costs you approximately 20% more to use the Servery without a valid card. You can use your University card in the computer till situated in the Porters’ Lodge to keep a check on your food bill. This terminal is usually available 24 hours per day. The total displayed includes all your purchases in the Servery and Buttery since the start of the Term up to 11.00 pm the previous night. It will not show any amounts outstanding from previous Terms.
