Systems

NMSU has numerous systems available to students, faculty and staff. These systems make teaching, learning or working easier and more convenient. All of the systems listed below can be accessed anywhere an Internet connection is available.

Centra

Centra is a live, virtual meeting place that mimics a classroom or training room. It provides real-time communication and content delivery with archive capabilities for online courses.

E-mail

There are two areas for students to access NMSU e-mail. The first area is through the myNMSU portal. This is a secure site that provides NMSU students, faculty, and administrative staff with Intranet services. Using your NMSU ID and password you can check e-mail, maintain your calendar, view your pay stubs and get the latest campus updates.

The second area to view e-mail is through WebCT. When a student is registered for a WebCT course he/she will have a separate e-mail account specifically designed to e-mail the instructor and other students in the course. It is important for students in a WebCT course to check this e-mail frequently in case the instructor has changed an assignment or a due date.

E-portfolio

E-portfolio is a digital portfolio tool that was developed so that students could use a simple Web interface to create a custom portfolio highlighting their school work, career interests, and videotaped interviews or examples of teaching. This tool has been an effective way to demonstrate skills and strengths during interviews or in competition for internships.

myNMSU

The myNMSU portal is a secure site that provides NMSU students with Web-based self-service tools. Using your NMSU ID and password you can check e-mail, maintain your calendar, view your pay stubs and get the latest campus updates. These services are designed to keep you informed with NMSU events and announcements as well as providing personal services such as e-mail and a calendar. The myNMSU portal is different from www.nmsu.edu because it houses your personal information and can only be accessed by logging in with your myNMSU ID and password. The NMSU main page ( www.nmsu.edu ) gives you access to a specific college, other NMSU departments, financial aid services, student services and a variety of other options.

NMSU Online

NMSU Online is a system that provides numerous online resources including course schedules, a secure site for registration, grade history, and financial aid. In the fall of 2006, the secure portion of this site will be migrating into the myNMSU portal to give students the ability to pay a tuition payment and check their e-mail all in one place.

Student Employment

The Student Employment Service (SES) Ventana is an online employment system used to employee students with on-campus and off-campus jobs. To apply for any posted positions, you must go through the registration process found on this site. Then post a resume and select the positions that would best fit your skills and availability.

WebCT

WebCT is course management software that enables campus faculty and instructors to incorporate the Internet into delivery of a traditional classroom course. Some of the more common features include a chat room, bulletin board, private mail, access to grades, online quizzes, a calendar, and student presentations.
