<p>i’ve got the same notification.
received as of 5/21.
my orientation is on 6/30.</p>
<p>There is a bruincard center near the housing area on the hills.</p>
<p>same status message at june 5th. i think everyone should make it one time? my orientation is on july 10th</p>
<p>Two places for BruinCard pickup are:</p>
<ol>
<li>123 Kerckhoff Hall</li>
<li>150A Sproul Hall</li>
</ol>
<p>Hey but I wonder how they would know which office I’d be going to pick my card up LOL!</p>
<p>got the message that mine is the status of 5/18! yayyy</p>
<p>You can go have your pic taken now or wait till orientation. I went to take my pic last week and the lady said I would get it at orientation. I told her I had signed up for a summer class and she said I would get it right there. It took like 3 minutes from taking the pic to printing out the card.</p>
<p>My pic sucks, but at least I have my BruinCard!</p>
<p>heh ***. i just checked it and:</p>
<p>Thank you! We have received your photo and Terms & Conditions form. Unfortunately, the photo you sent did not meet our criteria and/or the application is missing one or more information.</p>
<p>…were they planning on letting me know? and is it really that difficult to tell me exactly what was wrong with it?</p>
<p>called and they said that i’ll receive more information by the 15th. <em>frown</em></p>
<p>was it a passport photo (2x2) with a white background?</p>
<p>yep.</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>for those who haven’t taken a 2x2 photo, you should consider costco. you get 2 pictures for 5 bucks. they probably charge you more at orientation or maybe you could bring your picture when you get to orientation.</p>
<p>yup! I took mine at Costco and though the pic sucks, it works perfectly well at a great price. And since nobody cares what you look like on BruinCard (I suppose?), I definitely recommend people do the same.</p>
<p>i took it myself with my laptop webcam…its not hard ppl!</p>
<p>You don’t get charged for your first BruinCard, that includes the photo. So you can wait until orientation if you want to, though there might be a long wait on orientation day.</p>
<p>WHAT it’s freeee?? i was assuming they charged for the pictures because they charge for everything else. thanks DJ!</p>
<p>heh, I sent in a legitimate (and expensively taken) passport photo and they rejected it… again… after the last one I sent. I’m just not going to bother with these stupidos, and wait around until they make me take the picture and print out the damn card right there.</p>
<p>if you take the photo at ucla it is free, i just did this and she said it would show up a week before my orientation or I could pick it up at orientation if not.</p>
<p>Got my Bruin card!</p>
<p>what date does it say they received it on myUCLA?</p>
<p>*by ‘it’, i mean your info.</p>
<p>Also, which orientation are you attending?</p>
