MyISU Portal FAQ

Introduction

MyISU Portal is used by faculty, staff, and students to access a number of applications and functions based on their roles at Indiana State University.   MyISU Portal is accessed using standard Microsoft University Credentials, just like your Outlook Email (university email account and university password).  When a person signs into the portal, their identity is verified and various roles are assigned to to the user.  Those roles determine the type of information that you see - and the applications that you can access.
