Announcing campusM- a new portal for Monroe!

MCC APPLIED program director Elizabeth Baxter led a cross-divisional workgroup through a comprehensive RFP process to select the ExLibris portal product campusM. This portal will serve as the support tool for MCCs Title III project and will replace Monroe’s current myMCC portal (set to close with the expiration of the Blackboard contract in December 2022). 

The campusM portal features individualized views based on the users’ role; including student, employee, alumni, parent, and prospective student/guest. Included with the portal is a comprehensive communication tool including app notifications, text messaging, emailing, and alerts which can enhance our current marketing and communication plans to better support student success and retention.

Comprehensive analytics will allow Monroe to track student usage to better target locations for student resources and supports within the portal, understand real time student needs, and refine communication strategies.

Included with the portal is an integrated APP available in the App Store and Google Play; reducing expenses via the elimination of the colleges current stand-alone MCC APP. Additional savings may be experienced after further evaluation of current Monroe products and the features of this product.  

Full integration of the campusM portal is set for this fall and will align with the launch of the SUNY selected learning management tool Brightspace, which is replacing Blackboard.

Thank you to the full RFP committee: from Academic Services: Terry Keys, Jamie Hoover, Andrew Eggleston and Amanda Rampe; from Administrative Services: Amy Ariola and Jeff Savage; from Student Services: Christine Accorso, Ryan Messenger and Doug Miller: from Institutional Advancement: Lisa Fluman; from EDWIS: Todd Gullo​; from MCC APPLIED: Elizabeth Baxter and Michael Rehbaum; from Purchasing, ad hoc team member: Patrick Bates​.

A college wide Implementation team lead by MCC APPLIED coordinator Michael Rehbaum, made up of division/area liaisons and students will drive the implementation plan, training program, and communication strategy for this product.

Division Liaisons will work closely with department liaisons to ensure the content and applications for each area are included appropriately in the new portal. It is important to note that this new portal brings the opportunity to reimagine how Monroe uses its portal. We are looking forward to this new technology and the advantages it presents for our students and our staff.

Be sure to connect with Colin Canfield, IT Specialist for MCC APPLIED, with the name of your departments liaison, if you have not already notified the MCC APPLIED team. (ccanfield1@monroecc.edu). 

We plan to have a pilot available for this summer, with a college wide implementation to occur alongside the roll out of D2L Brightspace.  

Attached below is a mockup of the portal view via a web page, and mobile device.
