Newcastle Uni Student Card

[EastEnder]

Does anyone know if full time students at Newcastle have 'full time' on their student card, i'm doing full time hours but it doesn't mention part time or full time on the card. Will this be enough to get student price?

Cheers

Pretty certain that they don't. There is no way of telling if they are full time or part time unless they show you their enrolment. Even then they can drop subjects and go from full time to part time.

You will get away using your student card in some places, but others want the transport sticker on the student card to show you are "in need" or a full time without full time employment.

Other places do deals with the university's respective student association/union and will want you to show them their card for a discount.

Short answer - it depends on the business giving the discount.

hey mate

This is basically repeating most of what Mick said...but maybe one or two differences.


From my understanding
All students of the Unversity of Newcastle have a student card.
ALL FULL TIME  students are allowed half fare for buses + trains.
However you must have the transport sticker.
That's what differentiates us from part time.
Although I suppose there are a lot of full time students who dont have a transport sticker because they drive.
Like Mick said it will depend on the business...realistically the only way you can tell you are fulltime is from the stricker

If for transport you will need the sticker, for most other things no, your student card is enough.

if its for something like tickets...maybe ring up ticketek?

Ticketek...I've never ever ever had a problem with ordering Student tickets. For 2 years I did it, and wasn't even a student (I just worked on a shite wage, and students earnt more than me on Centrelink...). I have a student card now, and doesn't say anything about FT or PT.

oh ordering is easy...
I've never showed my student card at a mariners game...but I have elsewhere
But they reserve the right to check anytime they want to...
