new student form photo
Can the photo that you have to attach to the new student form be wallet sized? Because wallet sized photos are twice the size of the box on the form even if you turn the photo sideways.
Also, can you send in your grad photo for them to use?
I've searched through the whole forum to find answers, but couldn't find any, so any info is appreciated. Thanks!

I just took a picture of myself, resized it, and printed it off. I don't think it can wallet-sized, I think it specifies passport-sized.

Yes, a grad photo can be used.
They just want an appropriate sized photo (so passport) that's your face.
As long as you're facing forward, and your face is clear. Also, passport size is larger than the box they drew on.

This is what I did, the form had a box in which you HAD to make your photo fit. I printed off a photo from a couple of months before August at Walmart, cut my face out and placed it on the form xP. Most first years end up getting an ACTUAL passport photo taken, which would cost them way more than spending 50 cents on printing one photo and cutting out your face.

Hi everyone, quick add-on question about the photo (didnt' want to make a new thread).
I don't think the OP's question was ever actually answered. My smallest grad photo is about 3.25 by 2.25 inches, so that's too big to be used, correct?
It also specifies that it has to be original, and cannot be a scan. But since this is the digital age I have no recent pictures of myself that isn't stored on a computer. So, can I print off an appropriate sized picture? It's technically not a scan, but I don't know if it qualifies as 'original'.
Thank you!

The fact that it's a photo means a trip to walmart's photo center doesn't it? and i believe the picture MUST be passport SIZE. if that helps anyone at all :p

Just make sure your head fits in well in the box, I think they just scan the photo and crop said scan, so...
