The Student Portal is the gateway to web applications, the Student Intranet and other student information at ECU. The portal web page provides access to many applications such as the online exams submission, and links to external websites from the My Communities menu.
The Student Intranet is a great source of information, with live news updates and events calendars keeping you up-to-speed with activities like semester and exam timetables, enrolments dates, social events and workshops and training.
There’s also support for your studies, health and finances, information about fees and life on campus and more.
