All faculty and staff have the ability to create a profile page on the UNCW website.
 

Creating Your Profile Page

1. Prior to creating your profile, please review our Faculty & Staff Profile Guidelines.
    
2. Please visit our Faculty & Staff Profile App.


3. Please click "Allow" when the pop-up box appears.


4. If "Allow" is disabled, please select "Fix connection" and then select "Allow."
   
   
    
5. Select your classification from the “Welcome, are you…” section. You can choose "Faculty," "Staff," or "Faculty & Staff."
    
6. Fill out any fields you wish to enter. None are required, giving you control over what information is displayed.
    
7. You can toggle the visibility of your phone number and office location as needed.

   TECH TIP: Some data is pulled in dynamically, integrating with Banner to automatically include essential information such as name, job description, department, office location, and phone number. If this information is incorrect, please contact Human Resources at hrsearch@uncw.edu. Please be sure to include "fac/staff profile edit request" in your email subject line.

    
8. When finished, please select "Create Profile."
    
9. After creating your profile, click the “View Profile” button to see your live profile page.

2. Edit any of the fields.


3. Select "Submit Edits."
    
4. When finished, you may select "View Profile" to view your updated page.

Publishing Your Profile

• The faculty & staff profile module app automatically publishes your profile page in real time. However, there can be a slight delay in publishing. The 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
 

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.
   • Profile photos, which typically have an environment backdrop, are not allowed.
      
3. Copy the URL of your portrait. 
    
4. Paste it in the last text field, "Professional Portrait/Headshot Image URL" within the app.
    
5. If you're having trouble locating your portrait, please contact Photo Services.
