ID Cards at DCU
Staff ID Cards are required by all colleagues in order to use the facilities, including parking, and to gain access to parts of the University. Visitors and contractors who wish to use facilities also require a card.
Staff ID cards
Staff ID Cards are issued daily at DCU Main Reception between the following times:
9.00 a.m. - 5.30 p.m.
ID Card requirements for new members of Staff
New staff upload their own photo to their Core portal page and then email reception@dcu.ie quoting their eight digit staff ID number to request printing of their staff ID card.
Contractors/Visitors
To use DCU facilities, contractors and visitors (for example, a visiting lecturer who requires access to the Library) are required to have a DCU Identification.
Steps involved:
- Complete DCU ID Request Form
- Submit photo ID e.g. passport or driving licence
Car Park Access
Once issued, new ID Cards will give automatic access to Car Park 2 and Car Park 3. Full details can be found on our website.
Swipe Access to Buildings
Should you require swipe access to a particular building, please contact your School/Unit secretary, providing by email the 13-digit number on the bottom right corner of your card. They will contact the
