Add Pronouns to a Profile Card

Pronouns can be added to a profile card, which will be visible in Discussions and in the Classlist.

When pronouns are visible, instructors and students will be able to see them in the profile card within Discussion threads. Instructors will also see them in the profile card when evaluating Submissions and Discussions, as well as in the Classlist.

Pronouns should first be set up in CampusConnect. This will make them available to be made visible in D2L. For information on updating pronouns in CampusConnect, see the information from OneDePaul.

To make pronouns visible, select Your Name [A]. Then, select Account Settings from the menu [B].
