New Student Form
HI, I have gotten acceptance from McMaster.
In my email:
New Student Form (please complete and return to the Office of the Registrar)
According to the file, I'm supposed to:
In order to prepare your McMaster Student ID Card in advance of your first day of classes, please attach an ORIGINAL passport photo (scanned photos cannot be used) and sign in the box below in BLACK INK. PLACE PHOTO IN CENTRE OF SQUARE
STUDENT INFORMATION
So does this mean that I have to get an actual passport photo or can it be be a self-shot photo from my digital camera?
I find it sketcy that Mac would accept your own digital self shot picture as your ID card!

As long as it is passport size, and isn't printed from a printer or scanned it's okay. So you can very well take a picture with your own camera and have it developed and then cut it into passport size. But I just find going to a place and getting your passport photo taken so much easier.
And you can smile!!! I know a lot of people who didn't know that they could smile but you can! It just needs to be passport size.

What Nicole said is correct. It just needs to be the size of a passport photo, i.e. wallet size. And you can smile! Oh and the background doesn't have to be white! I myself used a few grad pictures that we got developed at school. Other people I know (believe it or not) used photos from a photo booth.. but I wouldn't

Thanks! So does it have to be exactly a passport size?? I doubt I can develop my photo exactly into a passport size...I heard people just get it taken in one of those mall photo booth. lol I am trying to save as much money as I can here.
By the way, when does our course registration start?? I just got into Medical Radiation Sciences.

You could just get a photo taken at Black's for example and develop a few in "wallet size" (same size they're asking for). Haha, I know a ton of people who did the photo booth thing too! (Definitely way cheaper  . If you look at the homepage and scroll down, the course reg. for science (MedRad falls under here) is Sunday June 27th (so go on Saturday night at 12:01 AM  )

Ugh. This question comes up every year. Sadly, you're stuck with it for your 4 years =/ (even if you lose it and such).

Oh, good to know. I don't think I know anyone else who was asked =/. Maybe you're not stuck after all

Yeah, just make sure the quality is good because in the end then scan it into their system in order for them to put in on your student card. There are also days when you can just go to the Registrar's office and take your photo there. Not sure when that is though, if you want more information then you'll probably have to call them.

I'm pretty sure she meant Sunday at 12:01AM. It won't be open on Saturday at 12:01AM. The day changes at 12:00AM by the way.

Your required courses won't fill up I hope. Although electives might =/. So I would go on as soon as possible. Oh yeah I meant Saturday night after midnight.. which is technically Sunday (glad I figured that out last year! )
