ID Card Information for Online Students

If I'm not on campus do I really need a student ID?

Well it depends. If you have NOT taken your required math and/or accounting course then YES. If you have taken the course then it isn't required, but strongly encouraged.

The math and accounting courses require that an ID be shown to the video camera for the proctored or recorded tests. To protect your privacy we have chosen the Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ student ID to fulfill this requirement.

If you have taken your math courses already (or any needed accounting courses) you don't have to get the ID. However, getting the ID gives you access to all sorts of student discounts where you live, like at the local movie theater, online shopping, as well as any Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ discounts with local businesses and organizations.

So now that you know you want or need an ID, how do you get one?

• Submit a scanned copy of a government issued Identification Card. (This card MUST have a photo.)

• Upload a color digital image in JPEG format that meets the following specifications:

• JPEG format.
• You are the only person in the photo.
• At least 600x600 pixels.
• No larger than 1200x1200 pixels.
• Framing should be from the top of your shoulders to the top of your head with a small amount of blank space above the head and on the sides.
• You must look straight at the camera. (Please no 3/4 shoulder pictures)
• Make sure the background is a solid or lighter color. Send the above listed items to Ida Gaines Wilson, gaines@ulm.edu.

*All photos submitted are subject to approval by the Office of Online Student Advocacy.
