Do they have to be proper, passport/school photo style photos, or can they be scungy homemade shots?

I was wondering about that too!

Hmm.. I don't know.

 

[stazi]

doesnt really matter.

I can't believe that even in 2006, we're still stuck with paper student cards.

i just called the uni and apparently, so long as the picture looks like an actual photo booth shot and it looks like you and is on like photo quality paper it's all okay.
that's what i'm going to do.

 

[grk_styl]

do we get a new student card every year?

 

[Tabanacle]

for those who have their pre enrolment approved and thus don't have to go to the campus, how do we get our student cards? do they just send it in the mail and let u get it laminated with a photo later?

 

[tennille]

Well we have to pay our fees, so I'm assuming when we do that, we'll get our cards.

 

[kow_dude]

Sorry if it's obvious.... but when do we go back to uni to pay fees

 

[tennille]

From what I've read, its around the 6-9th of February. Sometime in early February.

Plastic student cards offer so many advantages over paper cards, it's absolutely disgusting that we don't already have them. ISA stand for the introduction of Smart plastic cards, because in addition to all the benefits of plastic cards, they can also be used on campus in lieu of cash and they can be used in payphones etc. The university already issues so many swipe cards for access to various facilities, it would be so much easier to have a centralised database that can be updated to allow x's student card to open door 1154 or whatever.

Woah... let me get this straight. We get paper card instead of plastic ones..WtF... Sryz but in USNW we got plastic and neither did we have to bring along a photo

 

[Phanatical]

We get a paper student card, and we bring a photo because they stick the photo onto the paper, then laminate it.

 

[tez0r]

that sounds so dodge...

 

[stazi]

yeah, i'm transferring out of usyd because they give us crappy id cards.

 

[withoutaface]

You can get a stacked vote and avoid getting your card mangled.

 

[Hanzo]

they use a webcam or digicam to take student ID fotos at UTS
hahahaha
too bad we cant bring our own fotos ! i would bring the foto below

I have absolutely no problems with the current Usyd card. For crying out load, they're just student cards, and most of the time they're just sitting inside your wallet anyway. So what's the big deal?

 

[tennille]

^I second that. It's just a card.

I don't mind the laminated cards. I've seen some of the UTS cards and the photos look really dark, anyway.
