How it Works

Your profile information is contained in a series of tabs. If you opt not to enter any information in a given tab, that tab will not appear on your profile page.

Be sure to click "Save" before moving to the next tab or you will lose your updates. Look for the green bar indicating that your updates have been saved before moving on per the example below:

 

About You Tab

Contact Info

Most, but not all, of this information is automatically populated from the University Directory. If you choose, you can add your cell phone number and office hours on this page. 

Updates to your phone number, office location, or email address must be made in UT Direct's "All My Addresses" page. 

 

Be sure to click "Save". 

Biography

This can be as long as you like. You can copy/paste from Microsoft Word, but formatting will be lost. Use the shortcodes provided at the left of the text box field to apply available formatting.
