Order Your Vanderbilt Student ID
All new students are REQUIRED to submit a photo in order to receive a Vanderbilt Student ID (also called the Commodore Card). All student IDs will be distributed during orientation. Student Affairs will distribute them during your first required block session. Please note that a student ID is required for access to all VUSN building and remote proctored exams.
The deadline to order an ID is July 14th.
The process to upload an ID photo is as follows:
1. Log in here using your VUnetID and password.
2. Upload a new photo of yourself – please ensure it is well lit, face on, against a plain solid light-colored background. It works best if you have someone take a photo of you using your phone.
No hats or sunglass on please.
Photo Requirements
• All photos need to be in color (no black & white photos)
• Your entire head and shoulders must be visible

Vanderbilt Card Services reserves the right to determine any photo as being inappropriate.
