Photo Requirements

ID photos are used for official university purposes. Please do not submit any photos that the DMV or passport office would not approve of.

Approved Photos Must Be:
Forward facing the camera.
Must be pre-cropped, head-shot photo from the shoulders up.
Standing in front of a solid-colored wall.
Photos taken by other people (non selfie-like).

Photos will be rejected that contain any of the following:
Hats, funny faces, sunglasses, head tilted poses, or gestures.
Multiple people/animals/objects other than the student.
Poor quality/blurry.
Scenic backgrounds. This includes in-car selfies.
Selfies/Snapchat/AI Filtered/Face-filtered photos.
Copyright photos, including your license photo.

All photos must adhereto ETSU's ID photo regulations. Any photo submittedwill be approved/denied as deemed necessary by Campus ID Services.

If your photo is rejected, you will be notified by email along with the reasoning. We recommend that you try resubmitting another photo. If you have further questions as to why your photo was rejected, please email IDBUCS@雷火体育官网.edu and please include your name, E#, and a copy of the photo you submitted.

Uploading a new photo and having it approved does not automatically qualify you for a new BUC ID card. Unless your current card meets the criteria for a free replacement due to normal wear and tear, any ID reprint will require payment of the full replacement fee.

Frequently Asked Questions About Photo Upload:

• What if I can't upload my photo due to image size?

  If you upload a photo through the app, there should be a prompt for you to crop it. This is done as soon as you take/select a photo. Just drag the corners to as close to around your face as possible, while ensuring nothing is cut off. Doing this should help the photo's size lessen.

  If you are unable to crop through the app, please use your device's photo galleryto see edit options. Select crop from there and save the photo and proceed to the app to upload.

  If you are uploadingyour photo using the desktop and need to crop the image, Google and Adobe have crop/resize features through their photo storage service.
