Get Your UNK Card

On-campus Students and Employees

As a Loper, you'll need a UNK ID card. Instead of waiting in line for your photo to be taken, you can submit it online. Here's how to take a photo:

Step 1: Check your camera format by following these instructions based on your phone type:

  • For iPhone– Go to Settings > Camera > Format > Most compatible
  • For Android – go to Settings > Apps > Camera > Camera Settings > Picture Formats > Disable High efficiency pictures

Step 2: Take your photo in a well-lit area with a white or off-white background. Stand close to the wall to reduce shadows, turn off overhead lighting to avoid glares, and face a light source like a window. Take a full head-to-shoulder photograph with no more space above the head or below the chin. Look straight at the camera and take a passport-style photo that meets the following requirements:

  • No professional/senior photos
  • No sunglasses unless for medical purposes
  • No headwear unless required for religious beliefs

Step 3: Upload Photo with the GET™App

Now that you have a great photo, let’s get it uploaded by using the GET App.

  • Download the GET Mobile app in the Apple Store or the Play Store.
  • Select “University of Nebraska Kearney” as your institution.
  • Log in with your UNK credentials by using your full UNK email address (e.g., username@lopers.unk.edu) and TrueYou password (password used to login to MyBLUE).

If you don’t know your email address, login to MyBLUE and click Tools > LoperMail > click Profile circle (Account Manager) in top right corner. Your email will be displayed.

Once you are logged in to the GET App, click Settings and Upload or Update photo. You will receive an email notification if your photo is accepted or rejected.

Once school starts, you will use the GET App to keep track of meals and dining points. If you don’t live on campus, you can add funds called Loper Dollars to save 20% at all on-campus dining locations. Visit unk.edu/loperdollars to learn more.

On-campus Students pick up your ID in the ID Card Office (Suite 142G in the Nebraskan Student Union). You must appear in person to obtain your identification card. Remember to bring photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or photo military ID.

Employees have two photo options for the UNK ID card. Follow the instructions above to upload a photo using the GET app, or have photo taken at the ID Card Office. Visit the ID Card Office (Suite 142G in the Nebraskan Student Union) to have the card printed at time of pick up.  Remember to bring photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport or photo military ID.
