How to Navigate the Blackboard Ultra Profile Page

In the Ultra experience, all users have a profile page that appears in the base navigation.  Users can customize the profile by adding profile pictures, sharing basic information about themselves including name pronunciation, nicknames, and pronouns, and access the Global Notification Settings. 

Instructor profile pictures appear on course content pages, rosters, and in discussions, conversations, and messages next to their activity. Student profile pictures appear in rosters, the gradebook, and next to their activity also.

In the list where your name appears, select your name to access your profile. Your profile appears with some information, and you can’t delete your profile.
