Welcome to Teachers College, Columbia University! If you are a new student entering the TC for the first time, you are able to submit a photo online for your first University ID card. In order to do so, you will need to have activated your UNI (unique network identification, which is the prefix of your Coulmbia eamil address). Submitting your photo prior to arriving on campus allows for the preprinting of your University ID Card which enables you to pick up your card anytime four weeks prior to the semester starts. Please take a moment to review the requirements for submitting your photo.

· Desktop: Picasa, Photoshop, Microsoft Picture Manager (PC only) and IPhoto (Mac only)
· Online: Web Resizer
· Facebook: You may also upload a photo to Facebook or My Space, resize it and then export it to your desktop.
