If you're a current student, faculty or staff member with a photo on file from your physical P2 Card, you're already set! If you want to update your photo, visit https://p2.uttyler.edu or download the Transact eAccounts mobile app from your device's app store. Incoming students will receive an email with instructions on submitting a photo for your UT Tyler P2 Card.
