• Should be cropped slightly above the top of your head to the middle of your chest.
• Should be taken against a solid, light-colored background.

• Must not include sunglasses.
• You may wear prescription glasses if you normally do so.
• Must not include hats or head coverings, unless normally worn daily for religious purposes.

• Your face must be positioned directly facing the camera.
• Your eyes should be open and looking at the camera.
• Shadows on face, glare on glasses, and red eye will not be accepted.

Incoming first-year students starting classes during the fall semester should have received a link from our office by email with instructions on uploading a photo. Please use that link to submit your photo, or follow the instructions above.

Other incoming students starting classes in the fall will not have access in Gibson to submit photos until August 1, 2019. If you wish to upload your photo during the summer before you arrive on campus, please click here to send us a request.

Once you submit your photo, we will email you within three business days to let you know that your submission was successful and your photo has been approved.

If you do not pick-up your Splash Card over the summer, it will be at your residence hall when you arrive for check-in. Commuter and graduate students can pick up their cards in the Campus Services office in the Lavin-Bernick Center, Suite 107 when they arrive on campus.
