WebAccess Gets New Look – Jan. 4

By: Dace Freivalds

On January 4, WebAccess will receive a major redesign that will alter how the website appears without changing any basic functions. The redesign will replace the thumbprint login screen that you have been using for the past few years with images of Penn State from across the entire University. This change is mainly cosmetic with a goal to bring WebAccess more in line with other University ID websites such as WorkLion and Workday. Please note that:

  • Students, faculty, and staff members will receive communications about the new look and feel of WebAccess only through official Penn State and IT communications platforms to avoid confusion and fears of being phished.
  • Users can ensure they are on the official WebAccess by checking the URL, which will remain the same: webaccess.psu.edu.
  • The redesign retains all service links end users rely on daily including UCS, WorkDay/WorkLion, work.psu.edu, My Library Account, etc.
  • The redesign includes a reformatted mobile platform making it easier to view and use across all mobile devices.
