A Campus Portal for Sign-In or Guest Access
MYFAU starts with a choice that fits the FAU community: students, faculty, and staff can sign in for a personalized experience, while alumni, prospective students, families, and visitors can enter as guests. That split makes the portal useful even when you only need public campus information, and it keeps account-only tools separate from the general browsing area.
Once an experience is selected, the home screen presents a campus-branded dashboard and quick access to university links. Signed-in users can use the portal for email, Canvas, self-service tasks, Success Network, and degree-related services, while guests can explore maps, events, news, and other resources without an FAU credential.
Menus for Academic and Campus Resources
Main Menu organizes services into groups instead of forcing users to hunt through a long page. The My Resources area can hold a personal dashboard shortcut, while Essentials brings together Academic Calendar, Athletics, Bookstore, Campus Maps, Dining, Events, Health & Wellness, Holiday Schedule, Library, News, and Owl Perks.
This grid-style layout suits quick campus decisions: check a date, look up a building, browse event information, find library help, or review student-life links from a consistent entry point. A clear grouping also reduces scrolling when a campus task has a specific destination. Individual modules can open a richer page, map, or connected service when the task needs more detail.
Search, Messages, and Saved Favorites
Bottom navigation keeps Home, Messages, Search, Favorites, and Menu within one tap. Messages provides a central place for notices sent through MYFAU, while Search narrows its results to the portal rather than mixing in email or unrelated services. This separation helps users reach a campus announcement or resource without confusing it with personal mail.
Favorites adds a personal shortcut layer for an article, map location, or event. Save the links you revisit, then return to them from the star tab instead of reopening the full menu. Together, the three utilities make the portal easier to use during a busy day when the same campus links need to be found repeatedly.
Daily FAU Tasks on the Move
MYFAU is designed for the moments between classes, appointments, and campus visits. A student can check schedules, open Canvas or Self-Service after signing in, and switch to maps or events when planning movement around campus. Faculty and staff can use the personalized resource area for work-related links, while guests can start with public information and location tools.
The app also suits prospective students and families who want a compact view of campus life, from orientation notices and athletics to dining, library, and wellness information. Because the portal combines a browser-like resource directory with mobile navigation, it works best as a recurring companion for FAU tasks rather than a single-purpose utility.
