    ...but do 2nd years (and I assume if 2nd years do then the same is true for years on from that) get a new Student ID card WITH a new photo at the start of the next academic year?

    Don't think so. I did when I was a 2nd year ('05) but I think from now on you only get one chance at picture perfect.

    You keep the same picture for your whole time at DCU. Warn all freshers to look good on the first day :P

    Afaik, you can get your photo re-taken if you want, you just have to contact the registry. Most people don't bother though.

    Well you have to pay extra each year, and queue with all the people who lost theirs, rather than it being a part of the registration process, which is now completed online for everyone bar the first years.

    I was talking about before you get issued with your student id for the current year, I doubt you'd have to pay extra to get your student id photo re-taken as you've paid for it along with your fees (although being DCU I wouldn't be surprised if they charged more for it).

    Nobody could have lost their id as it's the start of the new academic year so they are only being issued, you do not need you old id to get the one for the next academic year - all you need is a photo id such as your Passport or Garda ID to collect it.

    You pay for your card, which has your photo from first year. They will not, afaik, take another picture unless it is to replace a lost card, which costs 15quid, afaik.

    You'd be surprised. People lose them seconds after getting them!!

    Also, they do like you to hand in your old id before you get your new one, when you're collecting them. I refused to give mine and came back with my passport. But they generally demand them.

    I never gave my old ID in, just my Garda ID, although last year I had to ask for my Garda ID back off your man giving out the cards cause he was going to throw it with all the old student IDs. Don't know why I bothered to keep them... suppose as a memento :o

    You can get a new photo - it doesn't cost anything and you don't have to queue.

    Get you new card with the old photo as normal but at another time just wander up to the registry some day when its not busy and ask them, they'll take you into the card making room, take your pic and swap your old card for the new one :)
