Switching Between Home Pages

The home page that you see when you log in to ConnectCarolina is based on how you use ConnectCarolina.  For example if you submit purchase orders or electronic Personnel Action Requests (ePAR) you are an administrative user and could have the Admin WorkCenter home page as your main home page.  But if you are a faculty member and submit purchase orders you will have both an Admin and a Faculty Portal home page and your main home page will be the Faculty Portal home page.  Here’s another example, Jane graduated from UNC in 2015 and she now a grounds worker on campus.  She is considered a student and an employee and based on the hierarchy shown below, her main home page will be the Student home page.

Home Page Hierarchy

1. Faculty Portal (faculty)
2. Admin WorkCenter (use ConnectCarolina to do their job)
3. Student – (Students)
4. Self Service (all employees)
5. My Page (created by user)

If you are on a home page and need to get to a different home page that you have access to, you can change home pages by clicking the white downward arrow to the left of the home page name.  After you click the arrow, a list of your home pages appear.
