Faculty members in the College of Education now have the ability to update their profiles in the Faculty Directory. During the summer, Office of Communication staff transferred content from the old website to these new profiles. We encourage you to explore the new system and make any necessary adjustments. The following will guide you through this process. For assistance, please contact the Office of Communication.
Go to Your Profile
Go to https://apps.jsg.utexas.edu/profiles/ and authenticate with UT EID.
How it Works
Your profile information is contained in a series of tabs. If you opt not to enter any information in a given tab, that tab will not appear on your profile page.
