Requirements for the photo
Your photo is part of your student record. Without a photo your digital and physical student card is not valid. The initial photo has to be uploaded in your online preregistration. Afterwards, you can still change it in your SisA selfservice (conditions apply).
This photo must meet the following specifications:
- file format: .jpg or .jpeg
- orientation: portrait (no square or landscape photos) and passport size
- size: max 1 MB
Please observe the following so your photo is not rejected:
- the face should be the main part (this is at least 2/3rds) of the photo
- the eyes and face should be clearly visible (frontal view)
- too much facial shadow should be avoided
- the background should not contain other objects or interfere with your face (use a plain background)
- the photo should have enough contrast and not be under- or overexposed
- the photo should not be out of focus, optically distorted or contain unnatural features
- do not use a photo which was stamped or has text or lines on it (e.g. from a passport)
- avoid that the photo is surrounded by too much white space (crop the photo)
Your photo should look like the picture on the right:
