Adding a Profile Picture

Summary

Personalize your D2L profile by uploading a picture.

Body

Overview

Adding an image to your profile helps personalize your presence in D2L. Your profile picture appears on the D2L My Home page and in other areas such as Discussions and the Classlist.

Once added, your profile image will display across all your D2L courses. You only need to complete this process once.

Instructors may request that you use a photo of yourself rather than an icon. A head-and-shoulders photo is recommended for best visibility.

Please maintain a respectful learning environment. Images considered inappropriate may be removed.
