Student Information

The student card is used for student ID as well as access to the Mannix Library and all other libraries associated with the university. It is issued during the enrolment process by the Academic Records Office where a digital photo is taken. CTC student cards are issued to degree students only. Students enrolled as audit are not eligible for a student card, but receive a library card (for one year’s duration).
