You have to fill out the New Student Form which includes sending a passport sized photo.

I think with your offer there should have been a "new student form" where you have to fill it out and attach a photo of yourself..the deadline for that was July 15, but don't freak out if you haven't filled out that form !

Just fill it out and mail it to the office of the registrar:

Mail
Office of the Registrar
Gilmour Hall
McMaster University
1280 Main Street W.
Hamilton, Ontario L8S 4L8

And once you do fill out the form, they may not mail your student card out because it's getting close to Sept. In the case where you don't get your student card in the mail before you come to McMaster, you can pick up your student card at the Registrar's office.

Do they mail student cards to international students as well or do they have to collect it when they arrive on campus?

In the past all out-of-province students had to pick up their student cards and there was an explicit notice about it. When I tried to look for the notice I couldn't find it. If you don't receive on before you get to McMaster, just go to the Registrar's and they'll either have it or will print one out on the spot.

If you did your payment agreement "late" you could just accept it the day before you go in and walk into student accounts @ gilmour hall to pick it up (I did that this year)

thanks everyone!!!
