Adding a Profile Picture

Overview

Adding an image to your profile is a nice way to personalize your profile. This image will appear at the top of the D2L My Home page as well as in other areas of D2L such as Discussions or the Classlist. Once you add an image to your profile, it will be displayed in all of your courses in D2L. You only need to complete this process once. Most instructors will request that you use a picture of yourself and not an icon. Head and shoulder shots tend to work best. 

Always strive to maintain an environment that reflects mutual respect in the classroom. Photos deemed inappropriate may be removed.
