Student Portal Home Page

Your Home Page within PowerFAIDS Student Portal displays to all students regardless of whether they have an academic year associated with their account or not. While setting up your Student Portal administration settings for the first time, be sure to input your Home Page display text prior to allowing students to access the portal.

The home page feature in Student Portal makes it easy to communicate any generic information or welcome message you wish to convey to students as they access their portals. The Home Page provides the ability to:

• Communicate information with all students: A home page provides a place for students to receive any communication that you want them to see regardless of the academic year associated with their account. Within the display text editor box, you can input and format the information you’d like displayed to students within Student Portal when they arrive on the home page. Please see the formatting text section of Communication Templates for more information on using the editor.

• Show important information on an academic year basis: Because students might need different information based on their academic year, you can also associate important information notices to a specific year that will display and require student acknowledgment.

  Tip: If you have important information you'd like to display to students based on academic year, be sure to create the important information with the Home Page type prior to creating your home page.
