Step Four: Enter Your Changes and Click Submit

  • At this point, you should be able to modify your directory information*. This includes preferred name, room number, website, phone number, and email. 
  • Please keep in mind this is not a means to circumvent any changes that should otherwise be handled by the appropriate YSU departments. Such changes may include but are not limited to: Watermark/Faculty Information, Position Title, and changes in honorific (e.g. Sam Smith to Dr. Smith, or Ms. Jane Doe to Mrs. Jane Doe). 
  • Additional note: This specific updating process cannot be done on behalf of others as it requires the Penguin Portal log-in specific to the user.
