No, your card is free when first issued to you. There is a replacement charge of £6 to replace a lost card.

Your Cumbria Card is your ID card while you are at university. It has your photograph on it and your unique student number. You must produce your ID card if requested to do so by a member of university staff.

You can order a replacement card from the online store.

For the first time only - you will need to ‘associate’ your card with your computer account details.

You can use any printer/copier with a Cumbria Card.
