MyFIRE offers the option for users to personalize profile
accounts. Personalizing your profile enables your fellow classmates and your
instructors to get to know you better. Updating your profile is optional
(unless required by your professor). Only add information that you would want
other people to know about you as other users will be able to view your
profile. This tutorial demonstrates how to update your profile in
MyFIRE.
1. Select your name in the top right corner of the
MyFIRE homepage.
2. From the drop-down menu, select Profile.
3. When the page refreshes, select Change Picture to
update your profile picture. It is best to upload a headshot of you. This photo

4. A pop-up window will appear. Drag and drop a file or
select Upload.
5. Select the Add button at the bottom of the pop-up
