SEU is no longer utilizing sites.seu.edu as the portfolio tool. All programs and departments that require a portfolio will be utilizing the ePortfolio tool within MyFIRE. Users are highly encouraged to transfer all of their content from Sites and upload them to MyFIRE. However, content from Sites.seu.edu cannot be directly uploaded to MyFIRE. To transfer content to MyFIRE ePortfolio, there are multiple steps that users will need to take to successfully transfer content from Sites.seu.edu. This tutorial shows how to successfully transfer content from Sites.seu.edu. Note: Sites.seu.edu is currently only accessible on the Southeastern network, due to IT's security concerns.
