<p>On the housing application, it asks for a passport quality photo. Can I just take a picture with my macbook using photobooth and upload that? I know that for the Bruin card, I really should go down and get a passport photo taken to mail in, but what about for the housing app?</p>
<p>I just scanned the passport photo that I got taken at Costco.</p>
<p>Yes you can just take any picture with any camera as long as its pretty clear.</p>
<p>You don’t have to even submit one for the housing. I never did and nothing happened. I still don’t even know what they do with the pictures.</p>
<p>For your Bruin card, you can have your picture taken for you the first day of orientation.</p>
<p>^ Be prepared for a long line though.</p>
<p>for housing you dont need a photo, forget that.</p>
<p>for your bruincard: if you wait until your orientation you can get a picture taken for free but you will need to wait in a huge line. if you can go get a passport photo now you can send it to them with the bruincard form and they will send it back before your orientation.</p>
<p>For the bruincard just take a picture with a digital camera against a white wall, same thing as a passport photo and way faster & cheaper</p>
<p>We really don’t need a photo for the housing application?</p>

For my last set of passport photos I did the same thing - used our point and shoot digital camera to snap a head shot while up against a white wall. I then printed it out on a regular color ink jet printer making sure it conformed to the size specs for the passport office. </p>
<p>The above worked fine for the passports so if it was good enough for them then it s/b good enough for use at UCLA.</p>
