"Smile! - MIT ID Card Photo Info."

To get your MIT ID card and to be included in the Freshman Picture Book, you must submit a photo of yourself on the Herff Jones website (see link below) no later than Friday, June 17. You will receive your ID card when you arrive for orientation. This will be your 4-year, permanent ID, so choose a high-quality, appropriate photo of yourself!

What is the Freshman Picture Book?
The Freshman Picture Book is like a yearbook, but for incoming freshmen. It is filled with photos and information about all of the entering freshmen, as well as helpful information from upperclassmen and the Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming. Even if you choose not to purchase a copy, the photograph you submit to be used for your MIT ID, will appear with those of your classmates.
