  • Portal.wvu.edu contains a whole host of links and information, including pay statements, time, leave, expenses, ITS Help (for technology issues including connectivity on campus) and much more.  If you are also a faculty member or student, be sure to use the menu at the top left corner, to change your status to “employee” before you begin searching for information related to your employment.  We recommend setting the WVU Portal as one of your browser’s home pages on your WVU computer.
