FAQs:

What is being upgraded?

MyNMU is being upgraded. Historically, MyNMU has been used as a centralized location for students, faculty, staff and community members to access information and services related to their educational pursuits or job functions at NMU.  This upgrade will modernize how users access the same information and services. MyNMU and the NMU Mobile App will utilize a single platform, and will be designed to align with the look and feel of NMU's webpage and brand identity.

The services students, faculty, and staff need to access via MyNMU (such as registration functions, e-bill, time entry, etc.) will not change. The upgrade of MyNMU will only change how these services are displayed and accessed.

Who is impacted in this change?

Students, faculty, and staff will all be impacted by this change. Community members, parents, and prospective students will also benefit from the upgrade.

Why is MyNMU being upgraded?

When will the new MyNMU go live?

The mobile apps are available in both the App Store and Play Store today. The web portal at https://mynmu.nmu.edu will transition to the new platform on Sunday, November 19th at 12pm. This timeframe was chosen due to it being between the bulk of winter registration and final exams. Once the upgraded platform is live, the core team will continually improve the content and features provided in MyNMU.

What will the new portal look like?

The updated version will feature a more modern look that will align with the NMU branding. Some concept drafts for the MyNMU upgrade are shown at the top of this page.
