LSE Degree Students, Staff and Associate Staff

Your LSE card is your Library and School ID card.

New students (including intercollegiate students) receive their cards from the Student Services Centre after they have registered with the School.

If you are a member of staff at the School, please come to the Library Reception desk 3-5 working days after returning your contract to Human Resources to collect your card, or contact Library Reception on extension 6733 for further information.

Visiting academics - at the invitation of an LSE department - are entitled to an associate staff card. To apply:

  • Please complete our online Self Registration form
  • In addition, your department head is required to complete a Guarantee of Loans form.  Bring this completed form with you when you visit the Library Reception desk, where you will be asked to sign a confirmation to complete your application.
