Submitting a digital photograph requirement:

Sample ID Card with dos and donts

  1. The image is not more than 1600 high x 1200 pixels wide.
  2. The image file size is smaller than 2 megabytes.
  3. The image file type is either .jpg or .jpeg.
  4. The ratio of the image, height divided by width, is around 1.3 (ie. 1600 / 1200 = 1.33).

Steps to take a picture:

  1. Set your camera or phone to its lowest resolution.
  2. An image greater than 1600 x 1200 resolution is too large to submit through this process. We have a maximum image file size of 2 megabytes.
  3. The photo should be taken as a standard portrait (height is greater than the width). This means that you should be able to submit a photo taken with a cell phone or digital camera held so that the picture is taller than it is wide, and with your head centered in most of the photo. See below

Centered image

  2. Save the photo in the .jpg (.jpeg) format, name the file according to your nine-digit University of Guelph employee number. The name of the file is your employee number.jpg so it should be “312345678.jpg.
  3. You can send your image to Campus Card Office at idcard@uoguelph.ca
