Step 1 - Upload a photo
Download the GET app (administered by the Cbord company) OR go to the Cbord website.
After downloading the GET app, please upload a photo to your GET profile. The photo should resemble a DMV-style picture, but please don't take a photo of your driver's license and submit it. If the guidelines below are not followed, your photo will be rejected:
- Headshot from the shoulders up with just yourself (no friends or pets, please!).
- When taking the picture, please use a plain background (attempt not to use red).
- No hats are permitted.
- No sunglasses.
- No filters, especially social media stickers. This will automatically get rejected and you will need to submit another photo.
You are able to crop your photo in GET, if needed. If you upload a photo and decide you don't like the photo, you can upload another one before you click on Submit. Once you click on Submit, your photo is sent to the I-Card Office for review. Multiple photo submissions after an approved photo submission will be rejected.
Step 2 - Watch for an email
Once the I-Card Office has reviewed your photo, you will receive an email notifying you if your photo submission has been approved or rejected.
If your photo has been approved:
You can move on to Step 3. Please note that your photo may have been further cropped by the I-Card Office to meet I-Card standards. If this occurs, please do not submit the same photo again. Your I-Card photo is only 3/4" x 1", so even if the photo looks a little blurry, it will be fine on your I-Card.
If your photo has been rejected:
Please go back to Step 2 and select a different photo to upload. The email will give a reason why your photo was rejected.
Step 3 - Pick up your I-Card
Incoming Freshman or Transfer Students
You will receive your I-Card at orientation. If you were unable to obtain your I-Card at summer orientation, your card will be available for pick up at the I-Card table at check-in at the Kovalchick Complex. If you were unable to obtain your I-Card at winter orientation, you can pick up your I-Card in the I-Card Office during business hours.
Current Students and Graduate Students
I-Cards may be obtained at the I-Card Office during business hours.
Online-Only Students
If you have circumstances that make you unavailable to stop in the I-Card Office during business hours, please contact the office via email (icard-assistance@iup.edu) or by phone (724-357-1314).
