Guidelines to Submit Photo for Graduate Composite
Students attending Washburn Law remotely who are not able to come to Topeka for graduation composite photo sittings may submit a photo for the graduate composite. The deadline to submit a photo is February 28, 2023.
After you submit your photograph and release form, Wichers Photography will invoice you $30 + tax by sending a link so you can pay by credit card.
You will receive an 11" x 14" copy of the composite at graduation.
If a suitable photograph, release form, and payment are not submitted by the deadline, the student's name will be posted with the composite in lieu of a photograph.
Please follow these steps when submitting your photograph.
- Purchase Washburn Law regalia through the Washburn University Bookstore: https://www.ichabodshop.com/merchlist?ID=9106 (select the "Regalia - Law/DNP set for $99.00 + shipping charges).
- Sit for a professional portrait in the town where you are located. Note that there may be a sitting fee. Follow these guidelines:
- You must be wearing the Washburn University School of Law robe and hood (purchased from the bookstore).
- The photograph must have a neutral grey background, similar to these samples.
- Lighting should be coming from camera left and not be too "contrasty."
- The photograph should be cropped very similar to the samples. Your face should not be too close, and there should not be too much of your body showing.
- The file submitted should be in .jpg format.
- The image should be at least 1500 pixels tall.
- The filename should be FirstnameLastname.jpg (e.g., JohnDoe.jpg).
- The photographer or studio must provide a release that allows your photograph to be used as part of the graduate composite or for any purpose. If the photographer/studio does not have a standard release form, download and have them complete this form (13 KB Word).

If I am having my graduation photo taken locally at Wichers, do I need to wait for my cap and gown order to come in from the Washburn bookstore before I book a sitting?
- NO: Wichers has the correct Washburn Law regalia available; go ahead and book a sitting now.
If I am attending remotely and need to have a photo taken elsewhere, should I go ahead and order my regalia through the bookstore even if the new shipment hasn’t been received?
- YES. Go online and order your regalia now and they will ship it to you as soon as it comes in. You can order at The Icabod Shop.
