Northeastern University’s Student Hub and Employee Hub are invaluable resources that provide a range of features to help students, faculty, and staff make the most of their time at the university. One of the Hubs’ most useful features is the My Applications section of the landing pages, which provides quick and easy access to commonly used web applications.
Web applications are pieces of software that run in a web browser, as opposed to mobile apps that are downloaded to phones and tablets or the software that you install on your laptop. Examples of web apps available through the My Applications section on the Hub include Outlook, Canvas, and Workday.
Although the available applications differ between the Student Hub and the Employee Hub due to the varying roles and needs of students, faculty, and staff, the way the My Applications section functions is the same on both Hubs. Students and employees can customize the section by featuring up to eight apps on the Hub landing page, removing default apps, and replacing apps with other available apps.
Some apps even feature deep links to specific actions that can be accessed by selecting the red dropdown icon, such as starting a new message or creating a new calendar event in Outlook.
