Photo Guidelines

Please keep the following in mind before taking/selecting your photo:
  • Frame subject with full face, front view, eyes open.

    • The most common reasons for rejecting a photo: lighting is poor and is creating strong shadows on the face, discolored or filter used.
  • Leave a margin around a full head shot when you crop your photo.
  • No hats, sunglasses, jewelry, or garments of any sort that obstruct the view of your face.
  • No other people or objects in photo.
  • Must be a color photograph against a plain background (can be a color).
  • Subject must have a natural expression and facing forward. We encourage smiling!
  • No copyrighted materials.

Lost ID Cards: 

If your ID is lost or misplaced, deactivate your card online,  call NDSU Police at 231-8998, or 231-6252 during business hours. The replacement cost of a lost card from the NDSU Card Center, Memorial Union, is $20.00. You may pay for the new card by charging to student account, cash, or card.

Damaged ID Cards: 

Replacement cost is $10.00 if you turn in the damaged card at time of replacement. ID cards are used for access control and if a card becomes damaged, it could render it unusable. Punching a hole, bending, excessive dirt, scratching, or cracking the card will damage the card. You may pay for the new card by charging to student account, cash, or card.
