Upload a student card ID photo

You must upload a photo to get your student ID card. You should do this as soon as you receive your UWE Bristol email address and password.

Existing students who already have a student ID card can also update their photo. Uploading a replacement photograph does not produce a new student ID card.

You may find it easier to use a computer to upload your ID photo.

1. From the Your info in MYUWE, go to the 'Student card' tab under 'Your documents'.
2. Select the 'Upload a photo' link.
3. Select the 'Upload a photo' button.
4. Select 'Choose file' to locate your image and then select 'Upload'.
5. Your image will appear in an example student ID card. Adjust the image to fit within the borders. Use the 'Rotate photo' button if your image is the wrong way around.
6. When you're finished, select 'Crop photo'. If you're happy, select 'Use this Photo'.
7. To continue with the upload, select 'Use this photo' or select 'Start again' to cancel your changes. Once you have submitted an application, you cannot start another one until we have created your student ID.
8. You will be told how to collect your ID card when you arrive at UWE Bristol.

Photo requirements

We need a passport-style photo. Your photo must be:

• recent

If you agree with the notes, select 'Approve'. If you disagree with the notes, do not approve them. Contact your personal tutor instead. 

Your personal tutor can edit your meeting notes until you approve them. Once you have approved the notes, your personal tutor will not be able to make any changes to them.

If you do not have a tutor but you have meeting notes that you do not agree with, wait until you have been assigned a new tutor. You can then contact your new tutor to change the notes.
