Desktop Tools in my.csu explained

My Subjects tool

The My Subjects tool displays the list of CSU Interact subject sites that you have access to. There should be a link for each subject you are currently enrolled in, and from within each Interact subject site you can access services such as your subject outline, subject forum and EASTS. To navigate to an Interact subject site simply mouse click the subject code or title of the subject you need to view.

My Forums tool

The My Forums tool enables you to select the specific CSU forums you wish to display for easy access within your my.csu desktop. When you first logon to your my.csu desktop, there are no forums listed within the My Forums tool.

Within CSU there are basically two categories of forums: CSU general forums, like Student Life; Library Services; CSU General; etc. And there are specific subject forums that are automatically attached to the subject(s) you are enrolled in. CSU general forums are immediately available to you, but your subject forum(s) will not become available until three days before commencement of the study session.

To select the forums you wish to display within My Forums tool:

  1. Click on Modify.
  2. Select the Forums you wish to display by marking the check boxes.
  3. Click the Save button
  4. The Forums you selected will now be listed in the My Forums tool.

To remove a forum from the My Forum tool follow the above steps but simply uncheck those forums you would like to remove. Remember to save your changes.

Email tool

The Email tool provides easy access to CSU WebMail by providing a link to your account. The email tool displays the total number of messages in your inbox along with the number of unread messages (but It does not provide information from Outlook or other email providers).

You are able to redirect your WebMail account to another email account outside the university. Within the Quick Links tool, mouse click the IT Services link, then click the Redirect Your Email link and follow the instructions found at the top of that page.
