Sakai - Updating your profile
print icon

When accessing Sakai for the first time you may want to take a few moments to update your profile on the platform.

 

Your name and email address will automatically be added to your profile through Sakai's connection to JaySource. If you have a preferred name that you wish to be referred to across the college, including on Sakai, you can make that change by contacting Student Life, if you are a student, or Human Resources, if you are a faculty or staff member. This change may take a few days to populate through all systems so please be patient. 

 

You can access your Sakai profile by clicking on the circle in the upper right corner that displays your initials which will open your Account Menu. This is also where you can toggle between dark mode and light mode.

 

Once that pane opens, click the link to "View Profile". This will open a new window where you will be able to edit several profile sections. Here are detailed instructions on how to update your profile: https://sakai.screenstepslive.com/s/sakai_help/m/114554/l/1629383-how-do-i-set-up-my-profile

Feel free to update as many sections of your profile as you wish, however these sections of your Sakai profile may be the most useful to update:

  • Photo - you can add a photo so that Sakai users will see the photo, not just your initials. This can be particularly important if you are taking a class that primarily meets online.  
  • Adding a Nickname - In the Basic Information section you can add a nickname if you have a name that you like to use but do not wish to have changed in all systems across the college. 
  • Name Pronunciation - In the Pronunciation & Pronouns section you can type a phonetic representation of your name or record yourself pronouncing your name. 
  • Pronouns - In the Pronunciation & Pronouns section you can add your preferred pronouns. There is a drop down list with common options, but you can also choose "enter my own" if you do not see an option that works for you.
