Beat the ID card queues!

You must upload an ID photo to MyImperial at least 3 days before your course start date in order to have your card ready in your hall or department on your first day. Otherwise, you will have to wait in the queues to take your photo on-campus in your first week (when you could be doing something much more fun instead!).
