About myLynn

Welcome to myLynn, Lynn University's new and improved intranet. This “new” myLynn has all the information and resources you have come to expect and depend on … and more. myLynn provides students, faculty and staff an all-in-one way to access university resources and personal information.
Supported browsers: Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 4.
Some highlights of the new myLynn include:
• a redesigned LynnBay where you can post your own items in categories (think Craig’s List)
• private groups to keep private chats private and coordinate activities with your friends
• multimedia content showing the latest happenings throughout the site
• My Pages area to save a personal calendar and links

While most intranets are closed to the world, Lynn’s new myLynn is not. As you probably noticed, there is no need to log in to get information about the latest, greatest happenings at Lynn University—most information is open for all to see.

A password, however, is still required to access secured information that is specific to students, faculty or staff members such as grades and financial information for students, and payroll and benefits information for employees. By signing in to myLynn you will also have single-sign-on access to other resources such as blackboard, online registration, grades, email and more. 

Here’s some of what you’ll find on the new myLynn tabs:

• Home:  “What’s Happening” at Lynn, including university news, announcements, today’s events, Lynn people, photos, video, Knight Writer blog, links to our social media channels, and the new and improved Lynn Bay (once you log in)
• Academics:  course schedules, grades,  advising information, library and bookstore hours and information, announcements, Distance Learning resources, academic support programs, the academic catalog and calendar, forms and documents
• Student Finances:  financial tips, account information, financial aid calendar and awards, online payment options
• Life at Lynn: information about all  Student Life activities and departments:  housing, career development, international student services, counseling, health center, multicultural and women’s centers, security and campus recreation activities
• Employee:  information about employee events, wellness, payroll, benefits, policies, documents and forms
• Help: basic instructions, site map, log in help, IT announcements, report a problem
 

Plus

• My Pages: a personalized area where users can modify their information and add items to their personal calendar.
• Quick Links: links to frequently used web services like Blackboard, email, lynn.edu and emarket 

Lynn Central Authentication Service (CAS)

What is LynnCAS?
Lynn University Central Authentication Service (CAS) is a login service that allows you to access multiple password-protected web applications after logging in once (single sign-on). LynnCAS currently supports several web applications, including Blackboard and Outlook. This is just the first step to migrate other applications to use LynnCAS as well. CAS is a robust protocol used by many universities and commercial organizations and maintained by an active user community.
 
LynnCAS will:
Provide a consistent and secure authentication for web applications.
Provide the infrastructure to allow single sign on in applications not currently supported.
Allow authentication with application hosted by external third parties.
Increase application security.
 
How do I log out LynnCAS?
The best way to log out of LynnCAS is to exit or close all active browsing applications. For Windows users, close all open browser windows.  For Mac users, the browsing application remains open until you quit the application from either the File menu or by right-clicking on the Dock icon.
 
Will my username or password change?
No,  your Lynn username and password will  remain the same.
