Online Distance Learner Students

For Online Distance Learners starting in September 2025, your card will be posted to your home address beginning of September 2025. Please note that as an Online Distance Learner it may not always be possible to deliver your card to you. We use Royal International Mail; so we are relying on your home country to complete delivery. We do not offer tracking or courier for card delivery.
