Pirate Port Is Now Up and Running - Check It Out!

Pirate Port is now available to users – it is accessible through the Quick Links menu on the Whitworth website or directly at https://portal.whitworth.edu. This website contains a site for students, applicants and employees, with each site tailored to fit the specific user group’s needs.

The faculty and staff site contains Campus Announcements, Classified Ads, and a Meet Your Colleague section, all previously available through Whitworth Weekly. Users may post classifieds ads, submit prayer requests, and soon we’ll add a Campus Happenings section, where users will be able to post campus events information.

Pirate Port provides users access to their e-mail via the web, without the need to log in again, and the WhitNet menu is contained directly on each user-group’s site. This WhitNet menu has all of the functionality of the old WhitNet site, it just looks a bit different. As of mid-September, WhitNet will only be accessible through Pirate Port, so check out the site and let us know what you think. Please refer to the Pirate Port Help tab for frequently asked questions or to submit feedback.

If you have questions about using Pirate Port, please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@whitworth.edu. Thank you.
