PHOTOGRAPH/HEADSHOT

Please upload a headshot here. The photo does not have to be a professional photo or senior portrait. If possible, we ask that you upload a picture with a mostly white, off-white, or beige background (with ample light) that shows your face from the shoulders upward at approximately 3 ft. away. If you plan to use a professional senior photo, we ask that you only upload a headshot image and not a full body image. Hats or head coverings -- unless for cultural, religious, or personal health reasons -- are discouraged.



IMPORTANT NOTES: The photo MUST be a .jpg, .jpeg, or .png file (.pdf files or .heic files from iPhones are not compatible with our system). File size is limited (approximately 5 MB), so if you receive an error message saying the payload is too large try uploading a smaller file.  Please be sure to rename the file as "Last Name, First Name" before uploading it so that we can easily match the photo to your application.


.png, .jpg, or .jpeg files only
