4.5 Profile Headshots

To maintain a consistent, professional look to our profile page headshots, UNG has adopted guidelines for headshot photos. See the information below. If you still have unanswered questions after reviewing this information, contact the webteam via ServiceNow (login required).

Am I required to have a picture on my profile page?

While a headshot is not required, it is strongly recommended if your unit has chosen the style of directory listing that displays photos. Having your face on your site’s page lends a touch of personality and sense of confidence in your unit’s page that can be gained in no other fashion. For those units who choose to have personnel images, we do ask that they strive to have at least 75% of their directory entries with actual photos so the page does not look unfinished.

May I use a black and white headshot?

No.

What happens once the photos are taken?

After the photo shoot, the person will select their preferred image. A Creative Services team member will prepare the selected shot to be used on the website and then forward the photo to the webteam for placement on the site. Creative Services retains high resolution copies of the headshots if needed for publications or other promotional purposes.

How Do I Update Directory Info?

To update directory information (primary title, department, phone number, email address, or office location) submit a request through IT's Update Directory Information form (login required).

If you need help with this Directory form, contact the IT Helpdesk.

How Do I Add a Profile Page?

To add a new profile with biographical information (education history, publications, research, and special interests), complete the New Profile Page form.

To request a change to your profile page, ask your department's web coordinator to submit a ServiceNow ticket (login required).
