This service is NOT the same as providing student photo class rosters allowed by the revised Mcard Photo Use Policy of 3/17/06.  Photos for student class rosters for the Ann Arbor campus instructors and support staff are available through Faculty Business in Wolverine Access.   Click here for additional info.

The Mcard Department offers a service to University faculty, staff, and units by providing black and white Department Photo Rosters and student "Facebooks" (with cardholders' permission).  Individual color jpg images are also available.  This service was created due to the demand from the University community for a convenient means of obtaining photos without the necessity of taking individuals' photos. 

A brief description of the process is as follows:

1. The interested University party must first contact Lisa Kokas at (734) 936-2273 for complete details, timeline, and costs.
2. Department/Unit creates permission slips that are distributed and signed by Mcard holders giving Dept/Unit permission to use their Mcard photo for the specified purpose.  
3.  Permission slips are turned into the Mcard Center along with an spreadsheet listing each cardholder and certain other information.
4.  The Mcard Center verifies the spreadsheet data compared to the permission slips, then processes the data.
5.  Draft output in an Adobe PDF file for photo rosters and/or Facebooks is sent to the Dept/Unit for review, accuracy, and approval.

Or if individual color jpg images are preferred, those images are sent as email attachments.

For Department Photo Rosters & Facebooks, the Mcard Department will create black and white PDF file(s) of requested Mcard photos such that the cardholders' name and up to two other lines of information appear below the photo.  There can be 9, 25, or 72 black and white photos to a page. Due to the small size of 72 photos per page, only the first and last name print below the photo (occasionally long names will not completely print within the photo area).  Final output can be PDF file(s) and/or printed on paper.  Note: All Mcard Photos contain a small white "Block M" in the lower left hand corner.

Individual Color Mcard Photos
In situations where color photos are requested and there is not a requirement for information below each photo (as in the PDF documents above), the Mcard Department can provide individual color Mcard photos as separate jpg images.  Each image has a file name equal to the cardholder's UMID number.  Images are sent as email attachments, although they can be placed on a CD-ROM for a nominal fee. Note: All Mcard Photos contain a small white "Block M" in the lower left hand corner.
