Welcome to the new SUNY Old Westbury portal! The new portal has easy access to all the applications and information you will need. You will be able to create a personalized dashboard to fit your specific needs. The portal is based on cards that contain various different links, applications and/or documents. These cards will be categorized with common information and functionality. The cards will be available based on your role (student, staff and/or faculty).
When you log in for the very first time you will see these pages – subsequent login’s will bypass this and you will get right onto your home page.
