How do I add an image to a subject card or banner?

If your institution allows, you can upload an image to display within the course card in the Homeroom and a subject banner image on the subject's home page.

Accepted image types include JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG files. Subject card and banner images can also be added from Unsplash. All images from Unsplash are licensed under the Unsplash License.

When uploading a subject card image, it's recommended to use images approximately 262 pixels wide by 146 pixels high.

Banner images are cropped to a 5:1 aspect ratio. It's recommended to use images at least 100 pixels high.

Note: If a banner image is not set, the home page uses the card image. If a card image has not been set, the banner displays the course color.
