No, the student card that you received previously will still be valid for the entire duration of your studies at IIE Vega School. As a distance student at IIE Vega School, you must have a student card to access your IIE Exam Centre, particularly during on-campus assessments.
One thing to remember is that if you lose your student card or it gets stolen, you need to report it immediately to your Student Relations Navigator. You can request a replacement card via www.vegasbooks.co.za, but there will be a cost of R75 (excluding the courier fee). So be sure to keep your card safe!
