Accessing your profile:

Users access their profile by opening the user dropdown menu in the top right corner and selecting Profile:

Editing Your Profile:

From your profile page, click on the Edit profile link under User Details to access your profile settings:

On the profile editing page, you may enter or modify settings in the following sections:

1. General - Includes all basic information such as name, contact information, location, time zone, description and other system level preferences. Some settings to note include:
   
   
   • First name, surname, email address - These fields are pulled directly from Bear Tracks and cannot be edited.
   • Email display - By default, this is set to "Allow only other course members to see my email address". To hide your email address from course participants, set this option to "Hide my email address from everyone".
   • City/town, country, description - These details are optional and will be displayed on a user's public profile.
   • Timezone - While you may also set your time zone here, please be careful when doing so. If you change your time zone setting, eClass will update built-in times such as quiz times and assignment due dates (any dates that appear in your calendar) into your local time. However, dates entered within documents like the course syllabus, etc. will NOT update. This discrepancy may lead to confusion for submission deadlines. eClass support recommends that you do NOT change your time zone and consider all times on eClass to be set to Edmonton time (Mountain Standard Time or Mountain Daylight Savings Time).
