Which Details To Review Before Editing

This guide explains what profile details students should verify, which changes require care, and when to contact official support instead of guessing.

What You Can Update

The profile may show contact, address, personal, study-centre, and programme details. Some may be editable while others may be locked. Treat the controls visible on your account as the current boundary.

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Can't change email address"

Read the message shown after saving. If the portal asks for verification, follow that route. If the field is locked or the change does not appear, preserve the screen and contact official support.

Issue: "Edit button not showing"

Try:

1. Refresh page
2. Clear cache
3. Try different browser
4. Contact support

Issue: "Can't change program/student ID"

Do not try to work around a locked programme or student-ID field. Save the incorrect value and ask the current official academic or account-support route how it should be corrected.

Important Notes

• Update your address when it changes.
• Keep your phone number current so your study centre can reach you if needed.

• Review your emergency contact details from time to time.
