Northern Michigan University is partnering with ExLibris to implement an updated replacement for the MyNMU campus portal. The mobile apps are available in both the App Store and Play Store today. The web portal at https://mynmu.nmu.edu was transitioned to the new platform on Sunday, November 19th at 12pm. MyNMU will have a simplified interface and improved user experience. Some design concepts are shown below, but the final portal design will vary.

Common Questions

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.

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

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.
