Requesting a Student ID
You must be a current student to submit this request. If you do not wish to order a badge but would only like to upload a picture for the student directory, please indicate that on the form below. If you are requesting an ID for a Spouse, please submit a separate request. One of the very first things you want to do is get us a photo for your DTS student ID card. Please read carefully the specific requirements for the photo you will upload.
Criteria for Photos
- Must be in front of a solid white, beige, or gray background (nothing in the background).
- Must be a clear color photo (passport quality)
- Must be a current photo (taken the last six months to reflect your current appearance)
- Must be a full front view of the head and shoulders only, with your face filling the majority of the frame
- Must be directly facing the camera (no side or profile photos)
- Must have eyes opened and looking at the camera
- Must not have any other person or objects in the photo
- Must not be wearing hat or sunglasses
- Must not have a visible logo or writing on one’s shirt (no t-shirts with graphics)
ID cards for the Dallas and Online/Extension campuses will only be made three weeks after the start of Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters and then issued to students shortly thereafter.
ID cards are not made during the middle of the semester. Any ID card request made after the start of the semester will be printed the following semester.
