Editing Your Scholars@UNCW Profile

Editing Your Personal Information

Your Scholars@UNCW profile displays your name, rank, position, university contact information (if available), and a profile picture. If no photo is present, a filler picture will show up instead.

To change your personal information, navigate to Personal and Contact Information under the General Information section in Watermark Faculty Success.*

 

 

*Note: some of the information in Watermark Faculty Success comes from Banner and is not editable in Watermark; if there is something that needs to be changed that is locked, contact an administrator in your department for assistance.

Updating a Preferred Name

By default, the name that appears on your profile is pulled from Banner. If that is not your preferred name, you can change the name that displays by populating the Complete Alternative Name field in the Personal and Contact Information section. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Preferred names must be formatted in the following order: “LAST, FIRST MIDDLE.” For example, the name this person publishes under is “Sam Winemiller,” which the program will read correctly. Any of “Sam Paul Winemiller,” “Sam P. Winemiller” or “S. P. Winemiller” would also appear correctly on Scholars@UNCW. Multiple middle names or initials should appear correctly as well. This format will also accomodate suffixes when included like "Winemiller Jr., Sam"

Please check to make sure that what you have entered in the “Complete Alternative Name” field in Watermark Faculty Success is a single name that exactly matches the complete version of the name you publish under and/or matches the name you would like to appear on your Scholars@UNCW page. If only a first or last name is entered in this field, or multiple versions of your name are entered in this field, the program will not recognize them correctly, and the exact string of characters entered may be what appears on your Scholars@UNCW profile as opposed to a single correctly formatted name.

If your preferred/publishing name is correctly formatted in the data drawn from Banner/Human Resources, we recommend NOT entering any override information in the “Complete Alternative Name” field in Watermark.

Updating a profile photo

In the Personal and Contact Information section of Watermark Faculty Success, at the very bottom of the page, you can find a tool to upload a photo for your Scholars@UNCW profile. As a reminder: any updates in Watermark will be ported into Scholars@UNCW overnight.
