PirateNet student layout after login. The Essentials tab focuses on Offices and Services. The "my411" tab contains a broad array of access to systems based on the user ID. The "SHU2me" tab supports campus community networking.

The University's next generation portal is on its way! Coming this fall, Seton Hall University will be introducing PirateNet. 

Check Out piratenet.shu.edu Now »

Our current portal at myweb.shu.edu will be replaced by PirateNet as our personalized community webspace. The PirateNet portal will have many new features including seamless integration with our Banner:Student, Banner:Employee, and Banner:Finance systems, making access to your information and transactions much easier.  Accessing your Blackboard courses*, viewing your grades, checking your financial aid status, changing your personal information, or reviewing your budget accounts will be a click away.

The content within PirateNet will be organized based on your role at the University. For all roles, however, communication is foremost and therefore access to email, course announcements, group notices, campus events, and schedules will be dominant features. And since the portal is a place where we all come together, every one of us can play a part in its dynamic growth. PirateNet will provide 'Promote Your Content' and 'Submit a Suggestion' drop boxes, and a simple-to-navigate interface to deliver announcements to targeted audiences.

More information will be coming your way as we finalize the PirateNet structure. If you have any questions or would like to tell us what you hope to 'see' within our new portal, please drop us a line at piratenet@shu.edu

Learn about IT's other incoming initiatives at "Improving IT@SHU."

*Blackboard will remain our course management system and access to your Blackboard resources will be integrated into PirateNet.
