Returning students: Have you collected your new yellow student lanyard yet?

For the 2026/27 academic year, we're introducing new branded student lanyards across all our sites to help everyone feel safe, supported and welcomed within our university community.

We ask all students to please wear their University of Chester lanyard and have your Uni ID card clearly visible at all times.

Not got your new yellow student lanyard yet? No worries, you can collect it from your nearest LIS helpdesk. No appointment needed.

Old purple lanyards can be returned to your nearest LIS Helpdesk so we can recycle them.

Thanks for helping to maintain a safe, welcoming and inclusive University environment.
