Edit your profile

  Use this guide if you want to change information on your profile by yourself. Alternatively, skip this guide and just ask David or Shelly to make changes on your behalf. Note to faculty: you can only edit the upper part of your profile page by yourself (due to a severe limitation of Web Express).

Regardless of your approach, David and Shelly can offer assistance to help make your profile what you want it to be, while fitting into the overall INSTAAR context.
