No-Photo OTC SmartCard Eligibility

To be eligible for a no-photo OTC SmartCard you must be taking all your classes online, having textbooks ordered from the OTC bookstore delivered by mail, planning not to use OTC facilities including test proctoring and it would be considered a hardship for you to visit an OTC location to have your picture taken.

To apply for your no-photo OTC SmartCard complete the following steps:

  1. Update your mailing address and phone numbers in myOTC under the User Options menu on the left side of the screen.
  2. Allow one business day for your address change to be processed.
  3. Email Student Services at No-PhotoID@otc.edu from your student email account to request your no-photo OTC SmartCard.
  4. Remember that if your circumstances change, you will be charged a replacement fee to issue you a photo OTC SmartCard.
