My Hamilton, launched in 2002 and most recently redesigned in 2008, is your personalized view of information at Hamilton, as well as a starting point for accessing information and entertainment from all over the Web. My Hamilton gives you control over what Web resources and information are available to you, such as your Hamilton e-mail, calendar, ESS space and Blackboard accounts.

https://my.hamilton.edu is the login screen for the portal. After logging in, you will see your own Hamilton College portal page that you can customize yourself with access to the abovementioned resources. You can remove “channels” that you do not want and add “channels” that you do want.

My Hamilton uses tabs to group certain resources. Each resource is called a channel. There is an [EDIT] button on each channel which enables you to manage display settings and content for the channel.
