Student’s MyPortal Profile and Account
Students have profiles to identify themselves within the MyPortal community, as well as for them to get to know other people.
A user’s profile can contain various information, and can be accessed and edited through the Navigation and Settings blocks.
How to edit your profile:
To edit your profile page’s blocks, click on:
“Turn editing on” at the settings block
or click on:

Reminders:
- The email address that you place in your account settings will be the email address that MyPortal will use to communicate with you.
