3. The Student Portal
miun.se/en/student
• A central point in your studies, where everything you need should
be available
• Logging in here offers ONE way in to many databases and functions
• A portal is personal, who you are decides what you see and may
do.
• Yesterday you got your user identity (login information) from
Amanda.
• You activated your identity so you can use all the functions.
