Images must be at least 50 x 50 pixels in dimension. If your image is not square, it will automatically crop from the middle. Acceptable file formats include GIF, PNG, and JPEG. Your new profile picture will be visible to your instructor in the roster and in grading areas, and to other classmates when you post in Discussions, Blogs, and Journals in Blackboard.
