The Ellucian Experience implementation team is excited to announce that our new personalized dashboard, my.WesternU is now LIVE for staff, faculty, and administration! As of today, Monday, Jan. 9, 2023, the previous communication platform known as the YOUPortal has been successfully transitioned to our new Ellucian Experience. All staff, faculty, and administration can now access my.WesternU by clicking here and logging in using your WesternU credentials. But do not worry, you can still access the YOUPortal until Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023. 

Special Note: Please stay tuned for related upcoming announcements as the Student Experience is coming soon!

Our new my.WesternU dashboard is officially branded by WesternU and offers a cloud-based, centralized, user-friendly dashboard that allows students, staff, faculty, and administration to access WesternU content anytime, anywhere. With single-sign-on capabilities, Ellucian Experience my.WesternU creates an efficient, simplified way to access university resources from one centralized location to stay connected and up to date with important announcements and information.

To help make this switch as smooth as possible, we are offering 45-minute demo sessions for anyone who wants to learn how to access, navigate, and personalize their my.WesternU experience. Please click here to sign up for any remote session that fits your schedule.
