Screenshot self portrait and Preferred Names

In order to learn your name, I need your help.  Please print these and bring them to class.

Please create an 8.5x11 word document/"self portrait" with your name, an image of yourself, and answer a few of the questions below.  

You can use photobooth to take the photo, or use one from your phone, Facebook, Instagram, or wherever.   I will use these to learn your names and what it is you are hoping to learn from this class.

Students and Registration staff now have the ability to add a preferred name to a student record for use in the classroom and in Canvas instead of the official name on the student’s record. It’s easy and can be accomplished in two ways:

1.      Registration staff can manually add to the student’s record in our student management database.  Students must stop by our office to make this request in person.

2.      Students can add their preferred name using the student portal.  Access is through the My South link and the Student Profile update looks like this:

Once a preferred name is entered, it appears on class rosters in Instructor Briefcase (noted with parenthesis) and in the Canvas teaching platform. The preferred name becomes part of the student record, IBC and Canvas as soon the information is entered in the database.
