System Status
myHumboldt is HSU's way to communicate and deliver the information you need when you need it. In its early phases, myHumboldt is largely focused on admitted and enrolled students, providing personalized reminders and checklists as well as easy access to course, financial, social, and services information.
Through the use of single sign-on technology, myHumboldt is also the entry point for any of the following applications that students,staff and faculty are authorized to use:
Future evolutions will add more personalization, more services for staff and faculty, and more applications and services.
All you need to access myHumboldt is a browser and your HSU User Name and Password.
If you have comments or questions about myHumboldt, please send them to myhumboldt@humboldt.edu.
Logging into myHumboldt logs you into all the applications integrated into the portal that you're authorized to access, so there are some specific security precautions all users should be aware of:
For additional security tips, please refer to the security section of the ITS website.
Users working with the following applications log in through the portal using the CAS system but will use the applications themselves outside of myHumboldt; the CAS 45-minute portal time-out will apply.
Users of these applications should be aware that the applications are integrated only into CAS, not to myHumboldt itself, but there may be some initial confusion about the login process.
Just open up your browser and go to http://humboldt.edu/myhumboldt. Enter your HSU User Name and Password and you will see a tabbed screen offering you all the options and applications currently available to you through myHumboldt.
While myHumboldt works with most popular browsers, some of the applications accessed through it are less flexible, so use the browser that works best with your target applications when you access myHumboldt.
Once you're logged into myHumboldt, you have access to a whole range of campus services and applications. From the home page, you can click on the tabs across the top to display information relevant to academics, finance, campus life, services, and the library.
You can access applications and drill down into specific areas of information through the "pagelets" on each screen - the sections of the screen with headers like Student Center Help or PeopleSoft. Pagelets can be moved around on the page so that the ones you use most are in the most convenient position for you.
The contents of each pagelets can also be shown or hidden by clicking on the black triangle at the right of the header - if a particular pagelet is not relevant to your needs, you can simply hide it. There are a few areas, like My Announcements and My Checklist, that can't be hidden because you need to pay attention to anything displayed under those headings. There's also a "Quick Links" panel on the right that gives you instant access to other important information.
Every application accessed through myHumboldt, as well as myHumboldt itself, is protected by a time-out period which logs you out of an application if you have not accessed it for a predetermined period of time (you'll see a warning message before the system logs you out, at which point you can choose to stay logged in). The timeout period for most applications is 45 minutes; Moodle, STARS, and the Library Articles & Databases time out after 2 hours, and Gmail and other Google Apps after 1-3 days (HSU has no control over this last one).
Please think security when you log out of an application or myHumboldt itself and be sure to close your browser to fully quit or exit the application.
