Overview
The My Profile menu item in Faculty Success serves as a personalized workspace where users can manage, review, and export your academic activities. Specifically, from this page, you can manage your academic records, customize your layout, and access tools for reporting.
In Faculty Success, any entry documenting an academic contribution such as teaching a course, publishing a paper, or serving on a committee is referred to as a record within the system. You may also see the term activity used throughout the system. These two terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same type of information; entries that document your academic contributions.
Header Details
The page header shows the faculty member’s profile picture and the following information;
- [Name Prefix] [First Name] [Last Name], [Name Suffix]
- [Institution Name in FS] [College Name]
- [Department Name]
The profile picture is pulled from the Personal and Contact Information screen, specifically from the field labeled Photograph. If a photograph is not available, the profile will display your first and last initials.

From the My Profile page, you can connect your ORCID ID to Faculty Success. Linking your ORCID account allows your publication records to be synced seamlessly between the two systems.
