It’s here…and
ready.
What is, you say? The Portal, the MyUNT Portal has
finally made its way to the forefront of the University of North
Texas.
The MyUNT portal
branches off EIS (Enterprise Information System) while at the same
time working hand in hand with it. The really great part about
the portal is that it provides information targeted at individuals.
In respect to the portal and EIS working together, the portal will
give faculty and staff the advantage of using PeopleSoft applications
specific to their role, address students when necessary, access
personal information, as well as conduct University business.
For students, the portal will serve as an integrated Website to register
for classes, check academic progress, interact with classmates, access
their EagleMail account and manage your UNT finances, all with a
single sign-on.
Once the MyUNT
portal is fully developed, in addition to the features that are
available now, the following features will be included:
-
Calendar: Manage your
time by adding your class schedule, set important reminders, post
notes and meetings and different events on a calendar that will be
accessible from any PC.
- Instant
Messaging: Access to
instant communication with other students, faculty, and staff both
on and off campus, using Yahoo, MSN or AOL.
-
Academic/Research:
Access to UNT Libraries and other online research tools will allow
you to effortlessly access articles and other essential information
for your classes.
- Links:
Create a list of your favorite Web sites that you can access from
any browser.
- Campus
Life: Get news about
campus lectures, athletic events and other community activities.
MyUNT
will not be limited to just these features. Our goal is to
continuously improve upon and add features to the portal beyond this
initial release.
The MyUNT portal can be found at
http://my.unt.edu/. If you have any recommendations or
suggestions please feel free to send an e-mail to
portal@unt.edu .
Note – The
portal is not replacing the UNT Website, the two systems are
different, but compliment each other. At times there will be
certain information that will be available both on the UNT Website as
well as the portal, but for the most part, content will vary from one
to the other.
