CUSU Card

CUSU provides every Cambridge student with a CUSU card, which shows that they are a member of a College, Cambridge University Students' Union and the National Union of Students (NUS).

These can be collected from the CUSU Offices or from your JCR/MCR President or External Officer.

To complete the card, you must fill in your details and provide a 2.5cm X 3.3cm photograph of yourself.

This is primarily an identity card; however, it also allows you to take part in several NUS events (such as NUS Conferences) and entitles you to a number of discounts at local shops.
