Above: MyPortal serve as a gateway to Banner and other programs and will offer application tiles to give users access to different platforms and services.
In the coming weeks, the College of Charleston campus community will experience new ways to access and manage information. The College will be introducing MyPortal, a role-based (for example faculty, staff and students) mobile and web-based app that will serve as the gateway to the Collegeโs upgraded Student Information System, Human Resources System and Finance System (Banner), along with other applications.
MyPortalย will make it easierย forย faculty, staffย andย studentsย toย conductย business with the university.ย MyPortalย willย provideย access to academic and administrative applications and services โ everythingย fromย Myย Grades, student recordsย and course registrationย to timesheets, leave balances and parking services.

Based on your role at the College, access to applications will be provided throughย tiles. For example,ย on your phone, desktop or tablet, you will see tiles such as College Bookstore,ย registration tools, parkingย andย eBill.ย Select the appropriate tile, and you will have access to the relevant information.ย Tilesย forย students willย includeย OAKS and My Holds, which will integrate with other apps to pull in key data; tiles forย employees will includeย personal informationย and leave reports.
It is important to note that MyPortal will continue to evolve with more application tiles and functionality added over time. As the app develops, there may be tiles where the user will be directed to a site that will require the user to authenticate for a second time.
The MyPortal and the Self-Service Banner upgrade will ultimately offer greater accessibility in one convenient location. As MyPortal is built out, patience will be key and richly rewarded when MyPortal reaches its full potential.
Whenย MyPortalย and the Banner upgrade take place, please be sure toย exploreย them fully. Theseย user-friendly, intuitive servicesย present an opportunity forย simplifying life at CofC.
