Setting Up Student Home Page
The Student Home Page is a single landing page with several blocks. Students use it to see important information at a glance and to link to other features. Each block represents one or more features found elsewhere in the Campus Portal. For information on setting those features up, see the help topics for those features.
As an administrator, you can hide or show the individual blocks on the Student Home Page, and you can rename them.
Note
Because you're an administrator and not a student, your Student Home Page may be blank, but students' pages will have the information available in the blocks you set to display.

Warning
If you want online payments to be available, you must add the Payment Checkout feature to a page in your Campus Portal. If this feature is not added, the Make payment and Pay Ahead buttons will be inactive.
The Payment Checkout feature enables the launch out to Authorize.Net for online payments. While this feature cannot be used alone, it is required for the My Financial Accounts, Payment Plan, and Student Home Page features if you want students to be able to make payments through the JICS Campus Portal.
Note
While the Payment Checkout feature must be added to a page, users will not be able to make payments directly from the page. Instead, if a user accesses the Payment Checkout page directly from the navigation, they will see a note that the portlet can only be accessed from the My Financial Accounts or Payment Plan portlets.
Warning
If you want online payments to be available, you will need to make sure you are using Authorize.Net as a hosted payment form. If this is not set up, the Make payment and Pay Ahead buttons throughout the Campus Portal will be inactive.
Log in to the Campus Portal as an administrator and navigate to the Online Payment Administration feature.
Click the Click here to administer the Payments Portlet link.
Make sure the Use Authorize.net hosted payment form? option is set to Yes.
Tip
For more information about setting up and using Authorize.Net see the Online Payment Administration section of the Help.
