Most information on your iSchool directory page comes from data entered into your Watermark records and it can only be edited on the platform. An exception is your photo.
If you are a part of the faculty or staff, contact iSchool Human Resources to update your photo.
If you are a PhD student, please do the following to update your Photo:
- Navigate to the iSchool student directory.
- Log in with your UW NetID and password.
- You will see a link to “Edit my student profile” under the list of directories on the left.
- Once you’ve clicked this link, navigate to the “Profile Settings” page and find the “Student Photo” field. Use the upload field to add a photo of your choice. If you upload a large photo, you’ll be able to crop that right on this page.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click “save.”
- Refresh the page to see your photo.
This photo will be shown in the iSchool directory unless you have a different photo in Watermark (managed by iSchool Communications). If you would like to have a new photo taken, contact Doug Parry in iSchool Communications at parrydo@uw.edu.
