What is the purplecard?
What’s so good about it?

The purplecard is Lancaster’s own exclusive student card and easily the most recognisable form of student ID in Lancaster. Your purplecard could be the key to unlocking the best experiences while you’re here.

With the purplecard you can:

• Meet new people by joining sports teams and societies
• Get help with LUSU’s online services like the Essaybank and the Jobshop
• Save yourself £££s with loads of discounts across campus and in Lancaster.

You can get discounts on everything from eating out to getting a haircut, going out for a drink to getting the bus, learning to drive or going to Grad Ball. Take a look at the offers available.

Getting a purplecard or not shouldn’t be a difficult choice to make, there’s so much it can do for you, it makes sense to get one.
