Question:

Can I get a student card?

(Last edited: Monday, 13 July 2026, 4:20 PM)
Answer:

 
Our cards are now Digital!  In order to get your card you need to download our MyWest App.  Instructions are below on how to do this.

Download the MyDay app to your phone or tablet via your app store to access all college systems for students in one place, plus keep up to date with news and information from around the college.

MyWest https://wcs.myday.cloud/

Your username is your new student email address – studentNumber@live.wcs.ac.uk and your password by default is your date of birth in the format of DDMMYYYY.

To allow your student card to be verified you need to have submitted your first assessment/quiz on your course within 2-4 weeks, which will then make your account Live with the college. If you have downloaded the App you will then receive prompts about your Digital Student Card and steps on how to do this.

Your submitted photograph must be:

  • a close-up of your full head and shoulders
  • taken against a plain, self-coloured background
  • in colour
  • portrait orientation
  • clear, in focus and be a true likeness of yourself

When taking your photograph please ensure that you:

  • look straight at the camera
  • do not have a hat or hair covering your face
  • are not wearing any other form of head wear (unless for religious or medical reasons)
  • do not use any filters
  • are the only person in the photograph

 

Your Digital student card is linked to your record so if you are withdrawn from a course your student card will expire and your card will also automatically expire at the end date of your course.

Question:

I can't print my certificate, can you help?

(Last edited: Wednesday, 24 June 2026, 2:23 PM)
Answer:


For a Moodle course you are studying within this current session, we can request a paper certificate to be sent out to you.  If the request is for a course outwith the current session we cannot provide a copy but please contact us and we will be able to send you a student record report with proof of your result for the course.

For SL5 or SL6 courses all certificates are now e-certificates.  If you require a hard copy certificate there may be a charge for this

If you would still like to request a paper copy of your certificate please contact the Online Learning Team via the form below:
