Personalising your NILE profile

After you log in to NILE, you can personalise some elements of your NILE profile by selecting your name from the main NILE menu.

You can personalise your profile by uploading a photograph or avatar, and can also add your preferred pronouns, and a written and/or audio pronunciation of your name.

• Select the default profile picture (the grey head and shoulders at the top of the page) to upload your own profile photo or avatar
• Select 'Add pronunciations' to add a written and/or audio pronunciation of your name
• Select 'Add Pronouns' to add your preferred pronouns

You can update your profile picture, pronouns, and pronunciation in NILE as often as you want to.

Once you have updated your profile, your profile picture, pronouns, and name pronunciation will be visible to staff and students enrolled on your NILE courses. No other information about you is visible to other students studying on your NILE courses.

Please note that your name cannot be changed in NILE. However, if you contact the Student Information Desk they will be able to change your first name for if you have a preferred first name that you would like to be known by. (Note that this will not change the way that your name is shown on your degree certificate, which will always display your full legal first name, if you have one.) Your last name cannot be changed though, and will always reflect your legal last name, if you have one, as shown on your passport or birth certificate.
