Question
How can I update my profile picture in Canvas?
Environment
- Canvas
- StudentLink
- RaiderCard
Information
The picture displayed on your Canvas profile comes from the most recent RaiderCard photo that GRCC has on file. You can update this photo two ways.
Answer
Option 1
Depending on your location, contact Student Life (opens in a new window) (main campus), Tassell M-Tec (opens in a new window), or Lakeshore Campus (opens in a new window) to get your photo taken. Your new photo will then get updated automatically.
Option 2
Update the photo yourself.
- Sign into StudentLink (opens in a new window).
- Click Photo Upload from the menu on the left.
- Read the Terms and Conditions and click AGREE.
- Read through the photo requirements. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page.
- Verify your GRCC email address is correct.
- Choose a Classification (Student or Employee).
- Click CHOOSE FILE to upload an image from your computer.
- Click UPLOAD PHOTO.
Once the photo is uploaded, you will be notified through your GRCC email whether or not your photo has been approved. It can take up to 1 day for the photo to be processed in Canvas upon approval.
Note: If you prefer to have your Canvas profile picture hidden and replaced with the generic silhouette, please
contact IT Support.
