Student Portal user interface

Student Portal user interface

The Student Portal is a web-based software application, which means the user interface is made up of pages. Each page has a consistent look and similar navigational features. Each page is responsive, which provides an optimal viewing and interaction experience across a range of devices (mobile, laptop, and desktop). Review the main areas of the Student Portal below.
