If you a new hire or recent re-hire, you may not yet see the Faculty/Staff Tools in Portal until after your official start date.  Please send your documents to your respective Academic Component's support staff (HB 2504 Component Support Staff List) who can upload on your behalf!

The Pioneer Portal upload tool will only list the courses you have been officially assigned to by your component with University Scheduling.  If you do not see your course, please contact your component administrator and have them work with University Scheduling to have you added.  If you are a new employee, sometimes it takes time to get full access to all systems.  If you do not have access yet, your component support staff can upload syllabi to the sections you will be teaching. Vita can only be uploaded when you have full access.

Upon successfully uploading in the Portal tool, you will be provided a link that you can click to check the document.  You can further verify your document has successfully been uploaded by navigating to the WebAdvisor "Class Schedule", clicking on "Students" (do not log in), "Search for Classes" and filling in your course information. Links to your documents are placed here so they become publicly available to students, parents, and other constituents. Important Note: If you have previously attempted to view a document and received a message is was not uploaded, you may need to refresh your browser (you can press F5 when on the message page) to redraw the document to your computer.

Uploading syllabi and vita to the TWU Portal system from a non-TWU campus computer may require additional security protocols.  After logging into Portal, a secondary log-in window may appear.  If this secondary security protocol appears and your normal log-in credentials do not gain access to the upload tools, please try adding "fs/" before your Username and use your regular Password.  Should this not gain you access, the security credentials of the computer or network being utilized are not compatible with the TWU system, and you will need to send your documents to your academic component's support staff to be uploaded.
