What account and student-ID photo steps does Columbia list for newly matriculated Morningside students?
DIRECT ANSWER
Newly matriculated Morningside students and the university-wide credential process only. Confirm school/program distribution, move-in access dates and particular residence-hall authorization separately.
Newly matriculated Morningside students activate their UNI/computing account and upload an ID photo. Columbia says their school distributes the student ID.
University guidance
Columbia’s Student Service Center tells newly matriculated Morningside students to activate their UNI/computing account and upload a photo for a Columbia Student ID. The student’s school distributes the ID; the instructions direct students to school distribution rather than the ID Center.
Complete the account and photo steps, then confirm your school’s distribution instructions. Check your program’s move-in access date and any residence-hall authorization separately before relying on the card for entry. This guidance covers the Morningside student credential process. University guidance checked on October 17, 2026.
Your next step
Activate your UNI/computing account, upload the ID photo and ask your school how to receive the card.
