myCSULA is a central location for viewing information from multiple
internal and external resources. Information is presented through
containers known as portlets. myCSULA will provide the university
a direct communication channel to the campus community.
myCSULA is divided into 3 basic regions: the Banner region,
the Menu region and Portlet region. The Banner region contains
the
banner and links for customizing, getting help, submitting
feedback, and login or logout. The Menu region has links to
individual
portal pages, and each page has specific university links.
The Portlet region contains individual customizable portlets
built
for the portal.
Login to the Portal
A valid username and a password are required to login to the
system; your portal username and password are the same as
your Network Information services (NIS) Account, which is
also used for your email and remote access. Your username
is a unique name used by the campus network to identify you.
By convention, the username is made up of the first letter
of your first name followed by the first six letters of your
last name (maximum of 8 characters long). A number is assigned
as the last character in instances where duplicate username
exist.
Can I personalize a Portlet?
A portlet is a small independent container of information through
which dynamic content is presented. Most portlets have an edit
feature that allows you to personalize or customize your preferences
for that individual portlet. The initial release of the portal
includes about 20 portlets.
What can I do to customize the Portal?
You can customize the way the myCSULA looks, from page customization,
adding additional portlet, showing and hiding portlets, as
well as moving portlet.
