Publishing Your Profile

 

  • The faculty & staff profile module queue can simultaneously handle up to 2 publish jobs at a time. Additional jobs wait in line and are processed in the order they were submitted. The time it takes for your edits to go live depends on your place in the queue. 

    The faculty & staff profile module will also go through a site-wide publish every evening at 7 p.m.

  • If your page is not publishing, please submit a Website Support & Troubleshooting service request. 


Adding a Photo to Your Profile

 

*Please note: Photos for the faculty and staff profile module must be taken by the university photographer. While a photo is not required, we encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity to get a professional portrait (for free!) from the Office of University Relations (OUR).

Photos taken by OUR are available in UNCW's Photo Archive Database.

  1. Visit UNCW's Photo Archive Database.
     
  2. Locate your portrait.
    • It must be the standard portrait with a teal background.
    • It must be vertical, not horizontal.
