Current faculty members in the College of Education now have the ability to update their profiles in the Faculty Directory.  New faculty members should contact the COE Web Team before trying to access.

Table of Contents

1. Go to Your Profile

Go to https://apps.jsg.utexas.edu/profiles/ and login with your UT EID.



2. 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.

Be sure to click "Save" before moving to the next tab or you will lose your updates. Look for the green bar indicating that your updates have been saved before moving on.

You may need to clear your browser's cache to see the updates on your profile. 



3. About You

3.1 Contact Info

Most, but not all, of this information is automatically populated from the University Directory. If you choose, you can add your cell phone number and office hours on this page. 

If you want your middle initial to appear, you will need to add it to Workday.

Workday by default does not display the middle name for a worker, unless an update is made to change your preferred name in Workday so that the middle name appears. Follow the guidance in the Edit Personal Data - Workday Instructional Guide to "Add/Change My Preferred Name" and be sure to uncheck the Use Legal Name as Preferred Name checkbox, which will allow you to edit the Middle Name field.

3.2 Biography

Your bio should be current, concise, spell-checked, accessible to a layperson, and as jargon-free as possible. You can copy/paste from Microsoft Word, but please note formatting will be lost. Use the shortcodes provided at the left of the text box field to apply available formatting.

4. Research

4.1 Your Research - Short Bio/Areas of Expertise

The Short Bio/Areas of Expertise appear on when someone mouses over a headshot in the Faculty Directory, per the screengrab below. 

This text needs to be kept short and be similar stylistically with the other faculty introductions in order to ensure a consistent experience with who may visit the site, including prospective students. 

This text also will appear under the "Expertise" tab on your profile page. The web team also uses this text next to your headshot on the appropriate graduate program web pages on the college's website. 

4.2 Your Research - Research Keywords

Research Keywords are used for the Faculty Experts Guide's search engine. 

4.3 Projects & Grants

Use this section to highlight grants and other research projects past and present.

4.4 Publications

All publications entered will have APA formatting applied automatically. There is no need to add a period at the end of a field as the system will add them and apply other formatting styles for you. Also note that previous entries may be updated. We suggest you list no more than 10 publications. Be sure to use your most recent or the publications that best represent your work.

8. Connecting to Graduate Student Profiles

Now that graduate students can manage their own profiles in the same system faculty currently use, faculty members can connect to the profile pages of the graduate students they supervise regardless of if they are in the College of Education.

When you log on to https://apps.jsg.utexas.edu/profiles/, you will see a new tab called Graduate Students, per the below.


graduate students tab 


Click on the tab and click the “Add New” button on the right.


Check the appropriate radio buttons. If your student is in the College of Education, his or her name will appear in the pull-down menu. Start typing your student’s last name to jump to it quickly. Make sure the correct name is selected, then click Save.


If you are supervising a student who is NOT in the College of Education, you will be provided with different options. Enter your student’s UT EID, which you can get from the UT Directory, select the appropriate degree, enter a URL to the student’s profile, and click Save.
