Until your smartcard is replaced, you can use a driving licence or passport as valid exam identification. 

If none of these are available, you must report the situation to Student Services Helpdesk, Level 2, King's Gate Building (Level 1 for Saturday exams) or the Sports Centre Reception well in advance of your exam to have your ID confirmed. 

You cannot use the digital University ID on your phone as ID. This is because phones must be switched off and left in the area designated for personal belongings.  

Any smartcard left in an exam room is returned to the exams office in Kings Gate immediately after the exam by invigilators then taken to the Philip Robinson Library.

We would recommend that you report your missing smartcard to library staff as soon as possible. We can then prevent the card being used fraudulently.
