Online Photo Submission

Step 1: Receive a photo submission email

Once you are eligible, you will receive a welcome email from Jackson College inviting you to submit your photo using our online photo submission tool. This photo is used to create your Jackson College Student ID card.

Step 2: Submit your photo using the Online Photo Submission Tool

When you click “Submit Your Photo” from the welcome email, you’ll be directed to an online tool to upload your photo for security approval. To ensure faster approval, follow these guidelines:

Do not wear sunglasses, hats, or head coverings (unless for religious reasons, and they should not obscure facial features).

Crop the photo from slightly above the head to the middle of the chest.

Use a plain, light background.

The photo should be recent and in color.

No other people should be in the photo.

Face the camera directly with your eyes open.

Ensure proper lighting with no shadows.

Step 3: Photo is Approved or Denied

Approved

You will receive an email that your photo has been approved! Your new Student ID card will be printed with your submitted photo within 24-48 business hours.

Denied

You will receive an email describing why your photo was denied with a button to re-submit your photo for review.
