Staff Card

Staff UCARD 

 

All New Staff will be requested to upload a passport sized photograph as part of the process to get a new Staff UCARD. This photo will be used as photographic identification of you on your card and on our Staff Database. The card will be posted to you so you will also need to email ucard@ucd.ie requesting the card and detailing your official UCD address.  You can upload your photo in sisweb by opening the “infohub” tab and then clicking “My Profile”

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Before getting your staff card you must ensure you have returned all of your relevant documents to Human Resources and that you have been added to / updated on the staff system as it is not possible to print a card until this has been done.

Existing Staff have a photo on the system and are not required to upload a new photo. If a member of staff requires a replacement card because it is lost or broken simply email ucard@ucd.ie requesting the replacement and detailing your official UCD address and Staff Number

 

Preparing your photo

 

When prompted, you will be able to browse your computer to find a suitable image file.  This should be a .jpg file with a size of no more than 50Kb. 

 

The image should be taken in colour and show your full head with your eyes open and clearly visible (with no sunglasses, tinted glasses or hair across your face).  You should be face fronting and looking directly into the camera.  Your head and/or face should not be covered unless this is for religious or medical reasons.  There should be no other person in the photograph.  You will have the opportunity to confirm that the image is correct before sending this to the University. If you wear glasses please ensure the photo is free from reflection or glare on your glasses and the frames should not cover your eyes. See below for sample does and don’ts for your photos.
