Digital Student ID

ATTENTION NEW STUDENTS: To create your student ID, you are required to log in using Humber credentials, which will be distributed to new students in August. Please wait for further instructions via email to your GryphMail.  

Students can upload their photo and verification documents online. Student ID cards are housed digitally on the Avro Mobile application. Your student ID card allows you to access student services on campus and attend campus events. 

The ID creation system is used by both Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber. Please be sure to follow instructions for the University of Guelph-Humber.
