Uploading a recent profile image helps create a sense of community, and helps your peers and lecturers recognise you.

When selecting a profile image, please:

1. Select a recent photograph.
2. Make it a head and shoulders image, facing the camera.
3. Crop it to a square image, resized to 300px x 300px. (This will also help reduce the file size of the image. See tip below)
4. Ideally save it as a JPEG image file.
5. Upload it to your Learn and Microsoft profiles, see instructions below.
