UW–Madison Profile project
Last updated:
UW–Madison Profile aims to be our campus’s centralized place for faculty, staff, students, prospective students and affiliates to manage their identity information.
It gives the power of identity management back to the user, providing transparency to individuals regarding their representation across various digital systems on campus. It is the only place where you can change your “Name in Use” at UW–Madison, which is of enormous value to the community. UW–Madison Profile brings data stored in many separate systems and resources together into one user-friendly place.
