Adding Your Profile Information

Profiles give students the ability to add information about themselves (ex: Bio, Website, etc.) that will be visible to the people (students and instructors) in their courses. Because other people in your courses will be able to see anything you post on your profile page, please be cautious about the personal information you share on your profile.

Accessing and Editing Your Profile

Step 1: To access your Profile click on your name in the upper right hand corner of Canvas.

 

 

 

Step 2: To add/change information on your profile, click the “edit profile” button on the right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Make desired changes/updates. 

***Adding a profile picture is a good way to "personalize" your Canvas profile. It is also a good way of allowing classmates to "see" and get to know each other! To add a profile picture, click on the circle with the gray profile icon, click "choose a picture," select a picture from your computer, adjust the icon circle as needed, click the "Save button."

See the following video for additional directions on how to add a profile picture in Canvas:
