Summary

The new myWM makes finding services easier and helps keep you current with the latest campus happenings.

Full Description

The all new myWM is now in place.  As the contract with our old system, Luminis, expired, Information Technology and Creative Services worked hard to find a fitting alternative.  We consulted with several departments on campus, looked at analytical data, and conducted a campus-wide survey to assess the needs of the College.  Although we will miss the old myWM, we think its successor is easier to use, more efficient, and better suited to the needs of the W&M community.

So what's different?

The new myWM makes finding services easier and offers features that keep you current with the latest campus happenings.  The most popular services - Banner, Blackboard, Email, WMApps - are featured prominently and accompanied by links to your most used web services.  Additional services will be easily accessible through subsequent pages of convenient links, known as the Current Student and Faculty & Staff gateway pages.

You will no longer login to myWM itself.  However, due to contract requirements and privacy concerns, some services will still require a login.  All-in-all, the number of times that you have to enter your WMuserid and password should be greatly reduced.
