Soon TTU employees will be able to access important web information and the new Banner system in a whole new way — one that will make logging in and getting access to information easier.

MyTTU, a new web portal program powered by Luminis, provides a "front door" entrance and personalized access to web services for faculty and staff. The plan for the portal is to provide a single log-in location for individuals to find web-based information and to tailor news and information they regularly look up through the TTU web site. Faculty and staff can log into the portal at http://myttu.tntech.edu using your username and TTU Domain password.

In the MyTTU portal, channels of information are available from a variety of web servers and databases. Users will have the option of selecting those they prefer to use or see and adding additional bookmarks, links or channels from off-campus sites. The goal is to allow the user to build a personalized page to make finding information effective and efficient.

Currently, only Banner Self-Service information, including pay stubs and benefit information, is available through the MyTTU portal. By summer, those employees who handle departmental accounts will have access to the financial information through the portal.

Demonstrations of the MyTTU portal will be presented during Banner Finance online-receiving training on May 15, 16, 17 and 18. To sign up for the training online, visit http://www.tntech.edu/its/training/asp/register.asp.

And later in 2008, students will have their own MyTTU portals, providing links to registration, payment and other university information.
