Body
With the framingham.edu redesign and the MyFramingham switch over, ITS has implemented a SharePoint intranet portal (referred to as the new "MyFramingham") to streamline and centralize access to resources and services, providing the campus community with a comprehensive 'one-stop shopping' experience. We have been working hard to combine the look and feel of both the old framingham.edu and MyFramingham layouts to try and help make the transition seamless.
In addition to this article, you may follow this video to help you get started.
Accessing the new MyFramingham
There are multiple ways you can access:
- You can type my.framingham.edu or framingham4.sharepoint.com directly into your browser. We recommend saving the link in your browser bookmarks
- Go to framingham.edu, click on the Menu on the top right of the home page, open up “Info For” and select Faculty & Staff or Student. There is also a "MyFramingham" link directly on the bottom of the Menu page
Accessing the Home Pages
In the new MyFramingham, you will find that there is multiple home pages. The main home page, which content is geared towards anyone with an FSU login, a student home page, and a faculty/staff home page. Going to framingham4.sharepoint.com will take you to the main home page.
The Main Home Page
If you are using a computer, you will be able to select your role from the tiles in the center, utilize the quick links on the right, or navigate to a specific University department/program site using the navigation on the top.
If you are using a mobile device, you will see the "Student" tile first. You may swipe the "Student" tile to see the "Faculty" tile. Scrolling down on the page will reveal the quick links.
The Student Home Page
If you are a student, click on the "Students" tile if you want to take care of business such as registering for classes, paying your bill, registering for FSU Alert, or access commonly used departments. Additionally, under the title of the site, you will see the sites navigation where you can find more links for Advising & Registration, Finances, and Student Life.
On mobile, tap the "Student" tile on the home page. You will be able to swipe through the tiles to reveal a small group of departments. Scrolling down the page will reveal quick links that are used by students. The tabs that exist under the title on a computer can be found in the hamburger menu at the top right of the screen.
The Faculty & Staff Home Page
If you are a faculty or staff member, click on the Faculty & Staff tile if you want to access resources such as Banner, Dynamic Forms, Slate, and other systems. Also, under the site title, you will see the site navigation where you can find more links.
On mobile, tap the "Faculty & Staff" tile on the home page. You will be able to swipe through the tiles to reveal a small group of department. Scrolling down on the page will reveal quick links that are used by faculty and staff. The tabs that exist under the title on a computer can be found in the hamburger menu at the top leftof the screen.
Global Navigation
At the top of each site has a global navigation. From here, you will be able to quickly access the home pages or go to specific department sites.
On mobile, you will find the global navigation in the hamburger menu at the top left of the screen.
Please note, you may notice some departments missing from the site navigation. That means the department either hasn't signed up to make a site, or it is under construction.
Search Feature
One feature ITS wants to highlight is the search feature within SharePoint. Using this will search sites, documents, and anything stored in Microsoft which you have access to, not just within MyFramingham. The results you see will be different from what another person sees, even when they search using the same words. You will find documents that only you have access to or files someone has shared with you. You will see results before you start typing in the search box, based on your previous activity and trending content in Microsoft 365. The results update as you type.
If you are searching for something specific within MyFramingham and notice that you don't yield any results, make sure you are searching the whole intranet versus the specific site you are on. You can see this with the bread crumb option under the search bar, and make sure "Framingham State University" is selected
Where is old MyFramingham tabs?
In the new intranet, department specific forms and documents can be found on the department's site. All departments who signed up and completed their site will appear in the global navigation. See global navigation instructions above. However, some MyFramingham pages were recreated. If you are searching for a specific tab or specific department sites, please follow the links below.
