All students must complete their moodle profile. Below are suggestions that will help you in developing you profile:
Descriptions should give the reader an idea of who you are and why you are here. Consider adding some of these facts:
(1) Hometown
(2) Employer; Position and or Department
(3) Years in Position and former relevant positions or relevant work experience
(4) Undergraduate College, Undergraduate Degree and Major
(5) Current Major and Degree Program
(6) How far along you are toward your degree goal or why you have chosen this degree program.
(7) Special Interests and outside interests
Remember, this is just a guideline, there may be other information, either life or work experiences that you may wish and are encouraged to share!
How to get it done?

You will see your First and Last Name and a coded e-mail address.
E-mail display: Choose Hide my e-mail address from everyone from the drop down menu.
E-mail activated: Choose This e-mail is disabled from the drop down menu.
E-mail format: Choose Pretty HTML format from the drop down menu.
NOTE: The coded email address is what makes it possible to enroll you in your courses. YOU CANNOT CHANGE THIS ADDRESS. We do not wish to have the moodle system interact with any real email accounts. It usually has the undesired effect of filling up email accounts with tons of unwanted communication
