Dynamic Fields
The dynamic fields at the top are indicated by two asterisks** and are automatically filled in from Human Resources and Banner. Human Resources provides this data, which cannot be edited within the app.
To make changes to your job title, phone or office number, contact Human Resources at hrsearch@uncw.edu. Please be sure to include "fac/staff profile edit request" in your email subject line.
To make minor adjustments to your first name or middle name, such as shortening your first name or removing your middle name, submit the TAC ticket for Name Change for your UNCW Account. These name updates apply to your profile page and to other Microsoft applications such as Outlook and Teams. For details on how to update your preferred first name or middle name for other applications, or to update your legal name, visit the knowledge base article How Do I Create & Edit My Faculty or Staff Profile Page on the UNCW Website?
