Student Identity Card

The student identity card is a personal identification document at CityUHK. It is required for access to campus facilities, including the library, Sports Complex, and the Computing Services Centre.

Electronic Identity

The unified Electronic Identity (EID) is a unique identifier used by the computer (or by an application running on it) to speedily retrieve information residing on one or more computer systems about a specific student. To activate the EID at CityUHK’s e-Portal, students are advised to use “EXGB” as the programme code.
