myDrake is Drake's campus portal, a website that serves as a launch pad to access other sites, online tools, and organizational content. It's intended for an internal audience and requires a login to access secure information and systems. myDrake doesn't house every piece of content or system, but provides links to content and direct access to systems.
myDrake access is based upon your campus role and the functions you need to use. If you have multiple roles, your access will reflect that.
Logging in to myDrake
myDrake is using a system that allows for single sign-on (SSO) to multiple sites. This means that once you sign into your Drake account to access myDrake, your login credentials will be shared with additional applications. ITS staff is working on connecting as many campus systems as possible through SSO, so the number of systems that require a second login will change.
Go to my.drake.edu using your favorite web browser. myDrake works on Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari and is responsive so it will scale to an appropriately sized screen on whatever computer, tablet or mobile device you're using.
