Answer

Student Photo IDs are Now MOBILE

Students can upload a photo of themselves for a new mobile NWTC student ID, available on any smartphone device. This will replace the traditional printed cards.

If you do not have a smartphone and require a physical student ID card, contact student.involvement@nwtc.edu or call 920-498-5483.
 

Step 1 - Log in to Your NWTC Student Portal

Step 2 - Take Your Photo

Photo Requirements:

For photos to be approved, they must adhere to the following: 

  • Solid light background.
  • Other people are not visible in the photo.
  • No hats or head coverings (unless for religious purposes).
  • Head straight forward and eyes looking at camera.
  • Head and shoulder shot only with shoulders covered.
  • Image is bright and clear without filters.  
  • Think of what your driver’s license or passport photo looks like. This is the type of photo the system accepts.
 

Examples: 

Not acceptable - Not a solid background. Full upper body shot. Other items visible in photo. Group photo. Hat and sunglasses. Glare from glasses. Full body shot. Acceptable - Solid light background. Looking forward. Head and shoulder shot only with no other people/items in the photo.


Step 3 - Submit Your Photo

Once the photo has been taken, submit the photo using the designated prompt on your screen. An automatic cropping/adjustment sequence will then initiate to ensure all requirements are met. If any of the requirements (bullet points stated above) are not met, a denial message will appear stating which requirement is not being met.  
 

When the photo has been approved, a pop-up notification appears, signaling the photo was accepted and submitted. You then receive a confirmation email sent to your NWTC @mymail address stating the photo has been received, thus completing the photo submission process. 

If the approved photo does not appear in your portal within 1-2 days, please email us at student.involvement@nwtc.edu.

You will then have access to your mobile student ID at any time in your NWTC Student Portal account.
