Question

Answer

As an eCornell student, you have two different student profiles.

Your Student Portal's profile is where you log in to:
- update your password
- update your email address
- download letters of completion
- print certificates or receipts, etc.
- This profile is private and will not be seen by anyone other than eCornell staff. To update this profile, please follow the first set of instructions below.
Course profile: If you'd like to add more information about yourself to share with your classmates and / or facilitator, please follow the second set of instructions on updating your course profile.

Log into your Student Portal
Click on the "Profile" link in the left-hand navigation. Mobile Users: Click the icon, then click "Student Menu" to find the Profile link.

Type your changes in any desired fields. Note: Once you have entered your "Name as it Will Appear on the Certificate" and saved it, you are not able to make revisions to it and must contact the Help Desk for assistance.
Mobile Users: you may have to expand a section by clicking the + button to the right of the heading.

Be sure to click "Save Changes" at the top or bottom of the page. See Also: How do I change my password?

How to Update your Course Profile
All changes made to this profile will be seen by your classmates and/or course facilitator.

While logged into the Student Portal, click "Take me to my courses" in the left-hand navigation.

On this settings page, you may add links to your social media profiles, such as Twitter, Skype, etc, as well as adjust your notification preferences and time zone (see also: How will I receive communications during my course?)

Here, you may add a picture to your profile, add a title, short bio, and any links you would like. This is a great way to give your course facilitator / classmates a better understanding of your position and get to know you better.
