Xavier hosts an intranet portal for all campus users. The appearance of the portal differs slightly between user types: Faculty, Staff, and Students. The appearance of the portal, especially the Dashboard or landing page can also be customized by the user. The portal serves primarily as a point of access for most of the systems and tools available to campus users. It also provides resources for different academic and administrative units, calendars for numerous campus organizations, and engagements such as campus-wide announcements and chats.

Before you start

In order to access My Xula, you will need to have already set up your Xavier SSO credentials (username and password) and an Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) method.

Logging In

To access the portal, you can click on the My Xula link on the top menu of Xavier's web site, or you can go directly to https://my.xula.edu. You may be asked to log in using Xavier's SSO (Single Sign-on).

Troubleshooting

  • I can't log in. — Contact the ITC Helpdesk.
  • I forgot my password. — Contact the ITC Helpdesk.
  • The page doesn't match these screenshots. — The portal is updated, and menu items and other elements may be changed or replaced. Also remember that the portal will look slightly different depending on your classification as student, faculty, or staff. Different browsers and devices may also render the site differently.
