Using the tools on your Profile page, you can update your personal information and adjust your notification settings.

Customize Your Profile

Your profile is the place to edit the information attached to your persona. You cannot edit information that comes over from our Student Information System (SIS), like your email or name. To make changes to your name, please contact the Registrar’s Office.

Add a Picture

Upload a picture to replace the generic silhouette. This does not have to match your school ID photo, but it should be school-appropriate as your instructor and peers will be able to see your picture within your courses.

Edit Basic Information

In this module, you can edit your pronouns and your name pronunciation. You can even add an audio recording of your name. Your instructors and peers will be able to see your pronouns and pronunciations within your courses, including the course roster and communication areas like Messages and Discussions.

1. Hover over any information in the Basic Details module and click the pencil icon to edit

2. Enter or change any details that allow editing.
