Student Portal - Setting Your Brand

Updated

Table of contents

Branding defines the visual identity of your Student Portal. It controls how the portal appears to learners across login, navigation, and learning experiences.

Branding includes logos, colors, and background images that align the portal with your organization’s wider digital experience.

Brands can be reused across multiple portals and storefronts. Changes to a brand may affect all environments using it, so confirm where it is applied before making updates.

How branding works

Branding is managed centrally and applied to one or more portal experiences. This means:

  • a single brand can be used across multiple portals
  • updates to a brand are reflected wherever that brand is used
  • consistent branding creates a unified learner experience across environments

Student Portal, Booking Portal, and WebLink storefronts can all share the same brand.

For shared branding concepts, see Portal Branding.

Before you begin

  • prepare your visual assets (logos, colors, background images)
  • confirm which portals use the brand
  • confirm whether WebLink or Booking Portals share the same brand

Open brand settings

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Select Portals.
  3. Open the portal you want to configure.
  4. Select the Brand tab.

Configure branding

Within the brand settings, you can configure:

  • Logo displayed on the login screen and portal interface
  • Background image for the login screen
  • Primary colors used for buttons and highlights
  • General styling across the portal experience

Apply branding assets

  1. Upload your organization logo.
  2. Upload the login background image.
  3. Configure color settings.
  4. Save the configuration.

Use optimized web images to ensure fast loading for learners.

Preview and test

  1. Open the portal login page.
  2. Confirm the logo and background display correctly.
  3. Log in with a test learner account.
  4. Verify branding is consistent across pages.

Brand reuse across portals

A single brand can be used across multiple environments:

  • Student Portal
  • Booking Portal
  • WebLink storefronts

This creates a consistent learner journey, but changes will affect all linked environments.

Common mistakes

  • Unintended global changes: updating a shared brand without checking where it is used
  • Unoptimized images: large files can slow portal load times
  • Incomplete testing: only checking the login screen and not the full learner experience
