Upload Instructions

Please note, it's important to follow all of the steps below to take and upload a photo for your Talon Card. Please make sure you have set up Duo authentication before attempting to submit a photo as you will need access to your KSU email account. If you have questions, please email taloncard@kennesaw.edu. Before you start the online photo submission process, compare your photo with the examples on this page. Does yours look like the acceptable pictures? If not, retake it to avoid having to repeat the process later.

Dual Enrollment students should contact the Talon One Service Center at 470-578-8663 or talonone@kennesaw.edu to schedule an appointment for their Talon Card rather than submitting a photo online.

Please allow up to 5-7 business days for Talon Card Services to email you confirmation of your photo's acceptance. Watch your KSU email for initial feedback from the Helper Bot. The Helper Bot will provide instant email feedback based on the built-in photo grading scale. If the photo has too low of a score, the email will provide directions on how to submit an updated photo.

Once approval of the photo (by the Talon Card Services team) is granted, you will receive an official final approval email.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The camera on your cell phone or computer is fine to use, or any digital camera, as long as it takes clear photos.
  • Once your photo is accepted, you cannot submit a new image.
  • You will receive a link to resubmit in the email denying your photo's approval.
  • No, you can continue to use your Talon Card.

Terms of Service: Once a photo is submitted, and is accepted, it becomes the property of Kennesaw State University. These photos are considered University property and may be viewed and accessed by University employees with a legitimate educational interest. Declined photos are deleted, and a new photo must be submitted for your Talon Card. By agreeing to these terms, you are confirming that you are the person in the photo, and you are accepting the charge of $14 for the first student ID fee, which is incorporated into the cost to attend Orientation. If your identity does not match the photo at the time of pick up, then you will be asked to take a new photo in person. You will also be charged a replacement ID fee of $25 in addition to the first ID charge. All fees will be applied to your student account through Owl Express.
