MyU can be used to communicate with a wide range of audiences at the University. This page contains definitions of four communications options:
The MyU News tab features need-to-know information and current events on campus. This tab is for all University audiences: students, staff, faculty, parents, and guests.
Submissions to the News tab must come from a department, unit, or campus, not from students, student groups, or clubs. Job postings, course-related promotions/marketing, and calls for research participants are not accepted.
Fill out this form to submit content for the News tab.
Notification details are in the upper, right-hand corner of MyU. A number is displayed indicating the number of active notifications. Notifications are action items an individual needs to perform.
Clicking on a notification will open a light box with all of the details. It's also possible to dismiss or un-dismiss notifications. Notifications will eventually expire, based upon an expiration date set by the business unit that sent the notification.
Holds appear only for students. Holds details can be found in the upper, right-hand corner with an alert icon. A number will indicate the number of active holds for the student. If the student has no holds, no number will display, but the holds icon will remain.
Clicking on the title of the Hold will display the details within a lightbox.
Alerts functionality is used to standardize and deliver urgent communications to groups, or the entire University community. Use of alerts is infrequent.
