The new CSUN Portal incorporates new technologies and the same modern design of the new campus web site. The CSUN Portal uses the same technology that powers CSUN's Mobile App, which will bring new kinds of interactivity and experiences.
Phase 1 includes launching the new CSUN Portal design, including content most students use frequently. This will allow users to do most of the things they are used to doing in the myNorthridge Portal. The myNorthridge Portal will still be accessible through the fall semester to ensure that all functionality remains available.
