Project Overview

Campus Collaboration

From Steering Committee and Project Core Team leadership, to usability research studies, focus groups, and interviews to capture user requirements, the My Sac State Portal project has engaged with every division and department to ensure comprehensive plan development and training and support to ensure a successful campus-wide adoption.

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
