Tech Update: December 22, 2021

myNortheastern Portal Services and Links on the Move 

When you return from the winter break, expect the myNortheastern portal to look a little different. The services and links will be retired from the portal as of Tuesday, January 4. These resources—including email accounts, academic schedules, course registration, financial services, and more—are now available on the Student Hub. Log into the Hub at me.northeastern.edu and navigate to the Resources page, the primary location on the Hub where the portal links and resources now live. 

Upcoming Events, Best Study Spaces, and Personalized News Comes to the Hub

You can now discover upcoming and recommended university and club and organization events, view and reserve study spaces through a campus maps view, and further personalize your Northeastern experiences directly on the Student Hub. These are just a few of the newest and recently enhanced features released to the Hub on December 9, 2021. Feedback from over 300 students helped fuel the inspiration for this December 9 release and other updates to the Hub.
