Project Overview
Campus Collaboration

The new portal will launch May 20, 2024.
Project Background
The My Sac State Portal project was born out of the findings from the "Student e-Lifecycle" project. The "Student e-Lifecycle" project’s goal was to ensure comprehensive student support through a concise and secure online presentation of key information. The project was completed in January 2024 and provided the following set of recommendations for improving the My Sac State portal.
- Phased redesign of My Sac State portal, utilizing new software with a mobile-friendly design
- Centralized dashboard with SSO access to key tools
- Single-sign on (SSO) access to Canvas, Student Center, Email
- Personalized content, news ribbons, modern design
- Clearly actionable links and personalized notifications
- Forms and Online Services page categorizing all available services
- Intentional language will create a sense of community and belonging while reducing confusion for students
- Organized sections, for example, Financial Aid, Academic, Support, Help
- Future phases targeting announcements based on student level
- Communication campaigns for faculty/staff awareness as well as student groups, such as incoming freshman, transfer students or graduating students – with differing interests, priorities and needs
- Home screen/dashboard with Advisor details and course links
- Housing and Meal Plan section with amounts due and announcements
