Cranfield campus information
You will need to obtain a Cranfield ID card from Main Reception (Building 26). Please bring a form of photographic identification with you.
Please ensure you have carried out your Right to Work check before you commence any work. You will not be able to obtain an ID card until the check has been completed. If you are British/Irish, you are required to bring your original right to work documents to the People and Culture office in Building 40 before you start any work. This should ideally be before your first day but can also be carried out before 9:00am on your first day. The check will only take a few minutes. If you do not complete the required check by 9:00am on your first day, we reserve the right to delay your start date and pay until the check has been completed. Please refer to your offer letter/email and start date emails for further information.
If you are not British or Irish, your right to work check will be carried out online prior to your start date. If you have not done this yet, please contact the People and Culture team.
