An enhanced Web portal – called "MyNorthridge" – will soon be available to CSUN students and staff. During preparation for the new portal's launch, there will be a period (5 p.m., June 21 - 8 a.m., June 28) during which portal functionality will be limited to "view only." This means that users will be able to access course and personal information but will not be able to perform functions such as enrolling in courses, running transcripts, making payments or processing refunds. Be sure to plan accordingly.
