Last Updated : Nov 06, 2024

No fees are charged for accessing AUC campuses; however, access to campuses is authorized by different offices.

Current Employees and Students

IDs are issued by the ID unit in the Security Office; the unit issues the ID cards for current employees and students, programs it for access to the appropriate places for the appropriate time. For more information on ID issuance, click here.

Visiting Faculty and Scholars

The Provost's Office offers authorization for the issuance of IDs for academic visitors. These include visiting faculty and graduate students visiting from other institutions, independent scholars, all of whom must have a departmental sponsor and who are deemed "fellows-without-stipend," and all members of Library consortia institutions, as verified by the Library. The Provost's office may delegate authorization to deans, including the dean of the Libraries.

Alumni

To continue to have access to the AUC New Cairo and Tahrir Square campuses after graduation, you need to issue an AUC alumni ID card. You will update your contact information, pay a fee of EGP 300, and then proceed to the ID center to be photographed and receive your card. We accept cash and credit card payments, but as a cashless community, we encourage you to pay by card at our office since cash payments need to be done at the Commercial International Bank of Egypt's (CIB) branch on campus.

Visitors for Business Purposes

The Office of the Associate Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer authorizes the issuance of IDs for contractors, vendors, and other individuals with business purposes on campus.
