<p>so we have to have our bruin cards before orientation? just out of curiosity..who actually has or has taken a 2 by 2 picture of themselves with a white background? i read on the new bruin site that we have to have this turned in 5 weeks prior to orientation and should have it back 1-2 weeks before orientation. is this bottom line or will they just take the picture at orientation? (my best friend is going to usc and had her orientation already and they just took her picture and gave her her card right then and there.) any answers/suggestions?</p>
<p>You can just have it made during orientation</p>
<p>Yeah you can go to one of the bruincard offices during orientation and get it made there - you do need it during orientation for dining hall meals, dorm access, etc., but if you don't have your picture in in time, don't worry about it. Just be warned that the lines to get a bruincard will be long during the orientation sessions.</p>
<p>Yup and they don't have time set aside specifically for that to be done.</p>
<p>hmm i sent my form in 6 weeks before orientation, and my ucla still hasnt sent it out</p>
<p>Just received mine couple days ago and sent in the application/photo in late May.</p>
<p>just got my bruincard today in the mail!</p>
<p>**** I didn't get ****</p>
<p>dont worry, you get it like a couple days before your orientation date. (talk about cutting it close). if you dont get it by then, then just get it made when you're there. no biggie.</p>
<p>just checked MyUCLA they mailed it today...woohoo</p>
<p>oh.. i need to send it in still.. haha</p>
<p>does if hafta be an official passport photo? or can i take one myself with a digital camera and print it out?</p>
<p>oh. also, my orientation is aug 1-3, do you think i'll get it back in time if i send it out in the next week?</p>
<p>i just sent mine in yesterday and my orientation is 101 (july10-12). so, would they give me my bruincard at orientation?</p>
<p>collegegirlgirl: yes you would pick it up during orientation</p>
