Edit Student Profile

Change a student's username, ID number, and name.

Students cannot edit their own profile information in NGLSync. If their name or ID number were entered incorrectly when their account was created, or an inappropriate username was chosen, an instructor must update their profile.

  1. If needed, sign in to NGLSync at nglsync.cengage.com.
  2. Select the student whose profile you want to change.

    If the student is enrolled in your course:

    1. Under the course you want to manage, open the Manage Course Toggle Dropdown menu and click Manage Students.
    2. Under Registered Students, click the student's name.

    If the student is not enrolled in your course:

    1. In the upper-left corner, click Menu > My District > Students.
    2. Search for the student by last name, username, or student number.
    3. Click the student's name in the search results.
    The Student page opens.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Enter new student information.
    • Username
    • Student ID
    • First Name
    • Last Name
  5. Click Save.
    A confirmation message opens with the student's new profile information.
  6. Click Confirm.
