New myPurduePortal Reminder

We have one more update to share on the myPurduePortal front:

 

Some of you noticed that the “Degree Planning & Audit” card was bookmarked for all students, even though it is not applicable to grad students. Though we do not currently have a way to remove the bookmark for grad students, we have added a red message stating that this is for “Undergraduate & Professional Students Only.” Please advise your graduate students to unbook mark this, and once that is done, it should no longer appear on their landing page:

 

 

Thank you for your patience and feedback as we are working to make this new platform more convenient for all.
