Student Identification Cards and Certificates

 
   

Student ID Card

   
    Your student ID card certifies that you are a student of Keio University, and allows entry to the Media Centers. (For regular undergraduate and graduate students it is also your Student Health Insurance Union (Gakusei Kenko Hoken Kumiai) card). You will need it until you graduate or complete your studies, so look after it. Please be sure to carry your student ID card with you when you are on campus. You must present your student ID card when:
  • Asked by a staff member of Keio (mainly at each office);
  • Receiving academic records, certificates, or a Student Travel Fare Discount Certificate (Gakuwari);
  • Taking major exams; or
  • Asked by a public transportation official when buying a student commuter pass, or tickets with your student discount, or when using public transportation with that pass or ticket.
