Registering in the department

Registration in the department is now via an online registration form. Group secretaries and administrators can click on this link to create a unique link for each individual needing to register in the department.

Details of the process are below:

  • Secretaries/group administrators need to generate a unique link to an online registration form. Once generated, this is automatically emailed to the new starter for registration.
  • The new starter clicks on their unique time limited link, completes and submits their part of the form. The person responsible for the new starter's safety induction must then respond to an automated email verifying that the safety induction has been undertaken. Once verified, a copy of the online form is sent to registration@ch.cam.ac.uk and admin will enrol the new starter on the department's database.
  • Reception will then be authorised to give Mifare access.
  • Safety induction is part of the registration process and must be completed in order to submit the registration form. A copy of the safety handbook will be emailed to all new starters along with the time limited link to their registration form.
  • Please see the Departmental Safety pages for all safety information.
  • The DSE form will still need to be given to new starters, but is not a requirement of registration. Completed DSE forms should be emailed to safety@ch.cam.ac.uk.
  • IT will arrange for the new intake of students to receive an automatically generated unique code on October 1st therefore these do not need to be generated individually. 

A portrait style photo will be required for your badge and for the department database. Please contact the Photography team to arrange for your photo to be taken within your first week in the department.

Security and Mifare card (photo ID card)

You will be notified when your Security and Mifare Card is available 7-10 days after your start date. Once you have completed the registration process, Reception will issue you with a temporary pass, please be sure to return it when you have received your University Photo ID card.  You must return this card to Reception or the Department’s Personnel Administration Office when you are no longer a member of the department.
