Setting up your Profile

In Canvas, you have a Profile associated with your account which includes contact and other information. You can add contact information, maintain a portfolio, and configure communication preferences, such as text messaging (SMS), Facebook, or alternative email accounts, through which your instructors can communicate with you. There are two options to add a picture to your profile.

Option 1 - Upload a Picture  
  1. Click the Settings link in the upper right Help Corner.
  2. Click on the picture (it probably looks like a grey silhouette) in the upper left corner of the page.
  3. Click Upload a Picture [1]
  4. Click the Choose File [2] button to browse your computer for the image you wish to have displayed.
  5. Click the Add File button to add that image to the list of available images.
  6. Click on the image you wish to use and click "Select Image."
  7. Your image should be displayed on your setting page.
  8. Click the blue Save button to save your changes.
