ID Photo Procedure

Please read carefully and follow these guidelines and directions to upload your photograph.

  • No sunglasses, hats, hoods, large head-wraps or scarves (unless required for religious or medical reasons – proof will be required).
  • If you are wearing glasses, please make sure there is no glare and we can see your eyes clearly.
  • Use a plain or lightly colored background (Hint: You can use a white board, a wall, or even a piece of poster board to create a Plain Background for your photo.).
  • Face camera directly. No angled or profile photos will be accepted.
  • Photo must be of the cardholder only (no family, friends, animals, objects, etc.).
  • Do not use filters (these may change or distort image).
  • Photo must be in color.
  • Photo should not be blurry, oversaturated, or overexposed.
  • Photo must be from top of shoulders to top of head, similar to a passport photo.
  • Photo must not contain profane, obscene, racist or sexist words or pictures in background.

 

Submit one photo only so send your best! You will receive a confirmation email once your photo has been either approved or rejected. Once approved, you can access your Panther Card through the TouchNet OneCard Application. If your photo has been rejected, you will need to resubmit your photo.

 

You may also have your photo taken on campus in the Panther Center by appointment only.
