Introducting the MyUWA portal.
The University is now launching MyUWA, as a part of the commitment to improve services to staff and students. MyUWA is a University-wide initiative with the primary aim of "Improving the Student Experience".
MyUWA is a web portal, or online gateway, that provides users with personalised access to important applications and information services, essential to study and research at UWA.
MyUWA is intended to become the "one stop shop" for access to the University's online services, allowing students to create a personalised gateway to:
- search for books or journal articles using many of the Library's search tools, including the catalogue and SuperSearch;
- review the items you have on loan from the Library, and see if any are due for return;
- link to a unit's WebCT course, CMO list, or lectopia recordings;
- read and send email from the student email system;
- check your personal timetable for lecture and tutorial times;
- review your Internet usage quota;
- upload and download files from your student storage area;
- read news and official University announcements;
- add personal bookmarks and RSS news feeds;
- plus much more...
MyUWA is intended to become the central point for official communications, email, search, discussion groups, syndicated content (e.g. weather, news, announcements), and links to tailored information for students. MyUWA will provide a student-friendly online experience, delivering relevant information and services to meed the needs of the current generation of students.
The University is committed to improving the breadth of services that it provides to staff and student through MyUWA. While MyUWA has been initially targeted at the student population it is expected that staff research and administration functions will be catered for in the near future.
Users of MyUWA are encouraged to submit their suggestions and comments by email to portal-help@uwa.edu.au or via the Support portlet with the MyUWA portal itself.
