Introducing the Patriot Portal at FMU
The Patriot Portal, a cloud-based space that provides secure access to important information for students, faculty and staff at Francis Marion University. The information available to each user is specific to that user. Faculty and staff will use the Portal to complete a number of tasks related to the business of the university, and to access information related to their employment.
For FMU students, the Portal is a one-stop shop for all academic and informational needs, including registration, class schedules, financial awards and more.
The Patriot Portal provides users with access to information about financial aid, class registration, housing; links to commonly used FMU websites; and much more.
Vital materials and access to information necessary for students is included in the suite of buttons at the top of the page, including links to register for classes, access financial aid information and pay university fees.
Additional information, specific to each Portal user, will arrive through announcements and notices of coming events.
The Patriot Portal also offers users an opportunity to personalize their site.
There currently isn’t a way to order text books directly through the Patriot Portal online, but you can do so through the bookstore website. A link to the bookstore website can be found below and on the Portal main page under “Campus Links” on the right-hand side of the page.
