The MyBGSU portal is designed to be a one-stop shop for access to information from all web based campus software systems.  The current MyBGSU portal has been in place for some time and is utilizing aging hardware and out of date web technologies.  

The goal is to put a new MyBGSU portal into place. Doing so will involve setting up a new portal infrastructure, selecting and setting up portal software that meets the university’s needs, and adding portlets to the new environment.  In addition to implementing a new portal, a new single sign on technology will be implemented as a part of this project.

Why We Need a New Portal

• Need to update hardware
• Need to update user interface/user experience
• Portal needs to work across all browsers
• Portal needs to work on all screen sizes
  • includes desktop, tablet, phone format
• Portal needs to interface with other systems utilized by BGSU
