Welcome to SIUE!

Dear $SUBSCRIBER.FIRSTNAME,

You made a fantastic decision in choosing SIUE!

Students attending Springboard to Success must submit a photo online so your Cougar Card can be processed prior to your arrival on campus. In addition to being your official identification while attending SIUE, the Cougar Card also provides access to your residence hall, your meal plan, library facilities, the Student Fitness Center, vending, printing, copying, and a variety of other functions. Every student must have a Cougar Card.

Uploaded photos must adhere to the following guidelines:

  • 300x300 pixels in .jpg or .jpeg format
  • Color 
  • Student only
  • Background should be plain and single color
  • No props, hats, sunglasses, or exaggerated facial expressions
  • No Snapchat filters
  • Photo should be from the shoulders up

All photos are subject to approval.

Visit the Cougar Card website to upload your photo.

  • Go to Submit a Photo Online
  • If prompted to set up a profile, use your SIUE email address and mobile phone number
  • Click "Click here to login"
  • Enter your e-ID and password information
  • Click "Upload ID Photo" under Quick Links on the right
  • Click "Browse . . ." to open the Choose File menu
  • Select the photo you want to upload
  • Click "Upload"

Please submit your photo no later than three days prior to your Springboard to Success session. We'll need one business day to process your photo. Check your SIUE email account to make sure your photo was accepted.

By uploading your photo, you get to choose what is displayed on your Cougar Card. You will receive your Cougar Card at the Finish Line table on day two of Springboard. Please bring a driver's license, state ID card, or passport to the Finish Line to verify your identity.
