Upload Your Student ID Photograph
Before you arrive, it’s important to upload a passport-style photograph. This ensures we can produce your University of Chester student ID card in time for the start of your course.
Your photo will be stored on your student record and may be used to confirm your identity when accessing university services. Your student ID card gives you access to a range of facilities including the library, catering services, accommodation, and university buildings.
How to Upload Your Photo
Follow these simple steps to make sure your photo is accepted:
- Use a mobile phone or digital camera to take a high-quality image in JPEG format.
- Photograph guidelines:
- Colour photo with a plain white background.
- Face the camera directly with a neutral expression.
- No hats, caps, or dark glasses.
- Ensure your hair does not cover your face.
- Portrait orientation only.
- Avoid red-eye glare if using flash.
