Most departments allow faculty, staff, and graduate students to edit information on their website profiles. Some sites also have profiles for undergraduate students and alumni. Follow these instructions to make changes to your profile.
Finding and Editing Your Profile
There are two ways to find and edit your website profile:
1. Finding Your Profile Using the Toolbar
- Log in to the website with your UW NetID: In the upper right of the site, next to the search icon, click the login icon. Enter your UW NetID and password.
- In the black toolbar that displays at the very top of the site, click your name and then click Edit Profile.
2. Finding Your Profile via People Directory
- Log in to the website with your UW NetID: In the upper right of the site, next to the search icon, click the login icon. Enter your UW NetID and password.
Using the main menu, click People and then click a directory page.

- On the directory page, click on your name, and view your profile page.
- Click the Edit button that appears at the top of your profile after login. If you do not see an Edit button, make sure that you are logged in. Otherwise, you may not have permission to edit your profile, and you should contact your department's administrator.
Editing Your Personal Information
You can change many elements of your website profile. Contact information, office hours, biography paragraphs, degrees earned, areas of interest, and links to websites are usually editable. You can also upload a CV or change your photo. See a complete list of profile fields. Editing policies vary by department, so you may not have access to change all available fields.
Note: You cannot edit your name or job title. Contact a department web editor to request those changes.
Editing Your Research
Examples of research such as publications, projects, dissertations, honors theses, and creative work are added to the site separately so that they can be featured in the Research section as well as appear on your profile. Each research entry can contain a bibliographic citation, images, audio/video, links, and a description or abstract.
Note: When you are selected under People Involved on a research item, it will appear on the Research section of your profile. A common cause of "missing" research is forgetting to associate yourself with the project under People Involved.
To add new research, click the Add Research Item button that appears at the top of your profile page.
To edit existing research, find the item in the Research section or on your profile, and click so that you are viewing the page for that individual item. Then click the Edit button. If you do not see an Edit button, it may mean that you are not the owner of the item and don't have permission to change it. If this is the case, notify your department staff and they can assign ownership to you.
Editing Your Courses Taught
Courses taught in the department's curriculum areas will automatically be listed on the Courses Taught section of your profile. If you wish to add additional notes about teaching experience, fill out the Additional Courses section on your profile, or include the info in your biography.
If courses are not automatically appearing on your Courses Taught section, please contact your department administrator.
Requesting Removal
Department staff obtain student consent before posting any information about them on the website. Since students can edit their profiles, they can then control what information is shared. Students who wish to be removed from their department website directory should contact the department administrator to withdraw their consent.
Faculty and staff are automatically included in the department directory. They can also control what information is included by editing their profiles.
