New Students

Welcome to SAIS!

Incoming and Transfers: One of the steps in the New Student Portal is to upload a color picture of yourself so we can have your J-Card ready when you arrive. If you have any trouble with the upload or want to resubmit your photo, please email your digital picture directly to saishelp@jhu.edu.

Only the image of your head, neck, and shoulders will be reproduced on your J-Card.  What works best is a portrait that is about 2 x 2 inches or 400 x 400 pixels on which the size of the image of your head is about 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches.  Graduation and passport photos are ideal.  If your head appears much smaller or larger than 1 3/4 by 1 3/4 inches, it is difficult to reproduce.  Please choose a plain, indoor background and do not wear sunglasses, hats, or hairstyles obscuring your eyes.

Once we have your photo, we will print your J-Card and it will be available for pick up in N317.

We will NOT print out a J-Card without a photo. If you have not received your card, please email your name and current address to saishelp@jhu.edu.

If you have any questions, please contact our office at 202-663-5666 or email us at saishelp@jhu.edu.
