I recently sent in the mail a passport picture along with the information for my student card. Approximately how long will I have to wait in order to get my card, as I hopefully want to get it soon in order to sign up for residence.

I'm pretty sure you don't need that to sign up for residence.

Ah, you right, the barcode on the student card is also on the acceptance letter.

Thanks

You really want to come to McMaster don't you?

The card will arrive in the mail some time in August, well that's when I got it last year when I just finished high school. Be patient, it's nothing to worry about if you mailed it correctly.

Yeah also considering people haven't even all accepted yet, the deadline to send in the picture is like July, at least it was last year, so you have a while to wait! But it's not a big deal, you don't need it until school starts.

If you're an international/out-of-province student, you'll need to collect the student card when you arrive. They don't mail it to you.
