Students who are taking courses on campus or housing residents are eligible for a Jackson College Student ID card.
When eligible, students will receive an email invitation to submit a photo using our online photo submission tool.
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.
When you click “Submit Your Photo” from the welcome email, you will be taken to the online tool to submit your photo and issued ID to help our security team move you through the approval process. Please be sure to follow the posted photo guidelines for faster approval of your submitted photo.

Online Photo Submission Terms of Service:
The use of any photograph submitted through the Jackson College online photo software is only to obtain a new Jackson College ID card.
If you are wanting a new picture on your Jackson College Card, the standard replacement fee applies.
When a photograph is taken for the issuance of a Jackson College Card, the digitized photo will be stored electronically for identification and security purposes. In addition, the photo may be used for approved internal College business purposes.
A government issued ID or other form of identification, such as a high school ID, will be required to help identify you during the photo submission process. This ID is NOT stored in any Jackson College systems and will be cleared once your photo has been approved or denied.
