Student Cards


The University provides all new students with a Student ID Card once your fees have been paid and you are fully registered. This card will be your official identification card for the duration of your time at NUI Galway. It provides access to a range of university facilities such as the University Library, facilitating the borrowing of library books, and allows admission to examination halls, lecture halls, other student facilities and services and collecting grant cheques at the Fees Office.


This card will be your official identification card for the duration of your time at NUI Galway.


It is important that you look after this card as there is a replacement fee of €20 should you lose or misplace your card. For more information visit https://www.facebook.com/NUIG.StudentInformationDesk


Money/Finance


Managing your finance is a big part of university life. This may be your first time living away from home and it is important that you sit down and make a list of your income and expenditure.


Living costs


Budgeting is one of the key skills you will need to develop during your time at university. Managing your money well will make your university experience more enjoyable.


Do bear in mind that some costs are seasonal and vary from month to month. The first month can be expensive as you may travel home more or go out more or buy one- off course materials.


Remember that a budget is a plan - a list of money coming in and a list of money you need to pay out - the trick is to stick to it!


“Once you learn how to manage your money, you will be able to enjoy university life to the full!”


If you don’t have a bank account then it is a good idea to set one up as soon as you can. There is a bank on campus and several other banks close to the University.
