We are currently working on a "Roadmap and Vision" similar to the one being developed by the CAS team. Our efforts to date can be found at:

We went live with a soft rollout with uPortal to students in late April and faculty in May, after 6 months of implementation and development, and have continued adding new functionality as time has progressed. This fall, we will be training our incoming students how to use the portal during their technology session, which will save us approximately an hour per student in training, and will allow us to have only one password change and one place to log in, instead of the five we have currently.
