Editing Personal Information

Student ID
Your Student ID is often determined by your school and will display on your profile.
Note: You are not able to change your Student ID. Please contact your instructor or support if you need to update this value. Visit 👉 Getting Support for details on contacting support.
ADA Multiplier
If your instructor has set an ADA multiplier for you, it will be visible here. The ADA Multiplier automatically extends the amount of time available for any assignment with a timer. If you believe that you should have an ADA multiplier set but do not see it here, consult your instructor.
High-Contrast theme
You can enable an alternate color scheme which enhances the contrast throughout SIMnet, and tends to be more forgiving on the eyes for our visually impaired students.
Third party offers
Third party offers such as the Microsoft Office Specialist Exam Voucher will appear on the left side of your profile to indicate that your instructor believes you are ready to become certified in a particular piece of the Microsoft Office Suite.
2. 👩🎨 Change personal information
