myPortal is coming to Lakehead!

This March, Lakehead University will begin migrating to a new online self-service portal for students, employees, and alumni.

Our goal is to stay current with new technology and provide you with a more centralized, self-service hub. With a fresh new look and feel, myPortal will offer a more cohesive digital dashboard and be much more mobile friendly than the current system.

Over the next few months we will be phasing in new experiences for stakeholders that will improve communication and convenience.

The first phase is the introduction of the new online self-services tools in a hub called MyServices. MyServices will launch on March 20. Many services will be undergoing maintenance from the evening of March 15th through to March 20th and may not be available.

Migration Roadmap

Shutdown: Wednesday, March 15 to Friday, March 17

Beginning at 6 pm on Wednesday, March 15, some of the web tools found in MyInfo will be unavailable as we begin migration to MyServices. MyCourselink (D2L), email, and a few other applications will continue to remain accessible through MyInfo.

Final Testing: Saturday, March 18 – Sunday, March 19

The new applications found in MyServices will be made available for final testing

Service Restored: Monday, March 20

The new myServices tools replacing WebAdvisor/WebUI will be up and running. The existing links to services in myInfo will be redirected to the tools found in myServices.

There will be no disruption of service with MyCourselink (D2L) during the transition. We will be enabling a new data bridge to provide students with near real-time access to their classes in D2L when they register, but there are no outages associated with this work.

myPortal Launch: To be Determined

There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure our replacement for MyInfo is ready for the Lakehead University community.
