STEP 1: Complete the online photo submission process, which will provide you with step-by-step instructions. You will need your central login information and a photo file to submit electronically. Please ensure your photo meets the requirements below before you submit it online or your photo may be rejected.

Tips for submitting an acceptable photo

• Set your camera to its lowest resolution. The photo must be less than 1600 x 1200 resolution. The maximum file size is 2 MB.
• The photo should be taken as a standard portrait.
• Make sure you are centred in the photo.
• You must be the ONLY person in the photo.
• Save the photo in JPG format and name the file according to your seven-digit student ID number (e.g., 0123456.jpg).
• Blurry images, images with hats and cropped images from group shots are not acceptable.

Photos deemed unacceptable will require re-submission. Student cards with unacceptable photos will not be issued.

STEP 2: Upload documentation confirming your identity and citizenship using WebAdvisor. The University requires proof of identity and citizenship before releasing student ID cards. The number and types of documents required depend on your place of residency and citizenship status. Please carefully review the criteria to obtain your student ID card.  Once you have determined which documents to upload, follow the upload instructions provided below.

Canadian Citizen

If you are a Canadian citizen, you will need to provide both proof of your citizenship and identity through one of the following options:

• Option 1: Your valid Canadian passport
• Option 2: Both your birth certificate issued by a Canadian jurisdiction and one piece of valid, government-issued photo ID
• Option 3: Your Canadian Citizenship Card or Certificate of Canadian Citizenship and one piece of valid, government-issued photo ID

If you are a permanent resident of Canada, you will need to provide both proof of your permanent resident status in Canada and identity through one of the following options:

• Option 1: Your valid Permanent Resident Card and one piece of valid, government-issued photo ID

If you are an individual recognized by the federal government as being registered under the Indian Act, we will accept both the existing Canadian Certificate of Indian Status as well as the new Secure Certificate of Indian Status card (SCIS).

Students who were in Canada attending a high school must make sure that they obtain a new study permit for the post-secondary level of study.
