The Service Centre provides a space for students to do photocopying, receive and send courier packages and shipments, send and receive faxes, and send mail to staff and faculty within the university system. The centre also operates as a holding area for students who need to have packages, mail and faxes sent to them at the university.

Students receiving anything from outside the University should ensure their name is on the package.

Students may also purchase access cards and leave deposits ($25.00) to receive studio keys. Access cards cost $20 to purchase and $10 is returned to the student upon completion of his or her time at NSCAD. The Academy Building and Port Campus are on access cards. The Granville Campus has Fashion, North Block, Textiles, Jewellery, Photo and the Main Entrance on access cards. Cards are needed for 24 hour access to these departments, but all students are encouraged to have one for after hours access into the buildings. (See Health, Safety and Security for more info.)
