My Shepherd has replaced RAIL as the primary tool for student and faculty advisor web-based services.

My Shepherd is how students register for classes, check their grades, generate a degree audit, request an official transcript, view an unofficial transcript, check their financial aid, and review their account.

For faculty and faculty advisors, My Shepherd is the place to view class rosters, access advisees’ records, and enter final grades.
