What's New and Changing

The NUPortal: Now Available

Posted Date: 05 Oct 2007

Modified Date: 05 Oct 2007

Effective Date: 01 Sep 2007

Northwestern's newest online tool featuring several of the University's Web-enabled enterprise services, The NUPortal, is now available for University faculty, staff, and students.

The NUPortal provides a personalized, role-based, single point of access to the online services that are essential to academic, research, and administrative work at Northwestern. The tool is available through a secure, user-friendly online interface.

ServicePoint, the project team for The NUPortal, began collaborative planning, project management, and development in 2006; they are consistently working to add more of Northwestern's Web-enabled enterprise services to The NUPortal.

Impact on End User

Northwestern faculty, staff, and students can use The NUPortal for easy access to many of the online systems of the University — enhancing access to, but not replacing the Northwestern home page and other service-based Web sites.

The NUPortal is customized for each user's role at the University, as well as their personal preferences, all available with a single NetID and password login. Features of The NUPortal include:

  • An intuitive interface that mirrors the look and feel of many University Web sites
  • The ability to select the services viewable on The NUPortal
  • Search features that enable users to find Northwestern people and content
  • A news area that provides alerts to users about topics and services of interest
