Confused about the new student form
Hey, I'm a bit confused on how to make the photo to attach to the new student form. Like do we HAVE to go to places such as walmart to get them to take a picture of us and print it passport size, because that cost like $16.99 for 2 =_=. I'm asking this because the form says you cannot use scanned photos, does that included printed ones as well, or can we just take a photo of ourselves in a mirror, go to photoshop, and edit it to passport size, print it, then paste it onto the form?
Oh, and does the photo have to be vertical on the form? or can it be horizontal as well?

you can use any photo, really. just have someone take a picture of you..or crop a picture, print it on photo paper and mail it in. and i believe as long as it fits in the box they outlined, it'll work!

Unfortunately the box they outlined on the form is about half the size of a passport photo.

ooh ok, I guess I can just print one instead of wasting almost $20 for 2 passport photos =D. Also, does it have to be photo paper? or can it be printed on regular paper as well

Flip the photo sideways, you will see it fits perfectly into outlined area on the form.

i printed mine on photo paper, but i really don't think it matters. as long as the picture is clear enough! and also, i believe if you're in res, you'll have to bring another wallet-sized picture on move-in day.

Yep, that's true! But you'll get more info on that once the move-in date gets closer.
