Online Photo Submission

Eagle Card Services representatives will continue approving photos during this time. Cards created after July 16 may be picked up from any Eagle Card Center location. To get your Eagle Card after July 16, visit either Eagle Card Center on the Armstrong or Statesboro campus.
