I-cardEach new student is issued an I-Card with an individual Banner ID number and a unique ABA number.

We need you to submit a photo for your I-Card!

I-Card Photo Guidelines

  • Make it a headshot, from the shoulders up.
  • Try to use a plain background, with any color besides red (so you don't blend in with the card).
  • No hats—we want to see your face!
  • Glasses are permitted, but not tinted sunglasses.
  • No hand gestures of any kind.
  • You are allowed to smile!

How to Submit Your Photo

Email culinary-arts@iup.edu.

  • Use Subject Line: ID Photo for Your Last Name
  • Attach the photo file
  • In the the email, include your first and last name.

Note: The first replacement I-Card is free. Each additional I-Card is $15, so make sure you keep it in a secure location.
