Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to get a picture taken?
No, it’s not required. If you do have a photo taken, we ask you to sign a release form granting the college permission to use the photo in various materials.

I had my picture taken last year. Do I have to do it again?
No, you don’t have to have it retaken, but you can if you want to.

I don’t like my current picture. Can I have a new one taken?
Yes.

Do I have to reserve a time for a photo?
If you are a current faculty or staff member or student, just drop in anytime during an open session. Incoming students will have portraits taken during their orientation sessions.

Who keeps the pictures?
The CPH Office of Communications and External Relations keeps the photos on file.

Can I get a copy of my picture?
Yes, you can request a digital copy for your use from cph-communications@uiowa.edu. Please allow 1-2 weeks for processing after new photos have been taken.

I can’t make it to any of these times. Will there be additional photo sessions scheduled? 
The College of Public Health will not be scheduling any additional portrait sessions. If you need a professional head shot, the UI Office of Strategic Communications has office hours for walk-in portraits for university faculty, staff, and students free of charge. No appointment is necessary.  See the current studio hours.
