By default, your newly-uploaded photo will be set as your OPIC. If you ever want to change, though, it's as simple as uploading a new photo or clicking an old one and choosing "Make this my OPIC."
Question
What is OPIC?
Answer
It’s a self-service, centralized, and easy to use picture service for the university that allows us to include photos in our University apps and websites without needlessly duplicating work.
Question
What is an Avatar?
Answer
It’s the image that appears beside your name when you post on blogs, forums, or use web services in general. In short, it’s what identifies you as being uniquely you as you browse the web.
Question
How do I get an avatar?
Answer
Easy! Upload an image of your choice here. That image will then become your avatar and you’ll increasingly see it used throughout the university’s web presence.
Question
What dimensions should my image be?
Answer
For best results, please upload the largest image available to you and we’ll take care of the rest!
Question
What kind of image should I upload?
Answer
Glad you asked! Just make sure that the image you are uploading has your mug front and center. If you want to be playful, feel free to be so, but be warned that a lot of OPIC’s operations assume that the subject is in the middle of the image.
Question
What if I don’t want an avatar?
Answer
If you aren’t sold on the benefits of having an avatar, you may opt out and we’ll use an image of a buckeye leaf to represent you. Don’t worry, though as you may change your mind and add an avatar anytime in the future!
