Updating Your Web Profile Page

For faculty, graduate student and postdoctoral researcher web profiles

The UT College of Liberal Arts (COLA) provides each faculty member, graduate student and postdoctoral researcher with a profile page that allows them to maintain their professional information in a single location. That information can then be displayed on any COLA website with which the faculty, student or postdoc is affiliated.

Please make sure your page is filled out and kept updated.

Instructions for Editing Profile Pages

LAITS (Liberal Arts Instructional Technology Services) provides easy-to-follow instructions on how to update COLA website profiles. Please note that although these instructions refer to faculty, the same information applies to graduate student and postdoctoral researcher web profiles, as well.
