“Ellucian Go” App Instructions Salve Regina’s Office of Information Technology has introduced the “Ellucian GO” mobile app for Apple and Android devices, which provides interactive functionality with My Information and My Salve components.

The new mobile application contains features such as Search for Sections, My Grades, My Notifications and My Courses. Students can also sync course schedules to their calendars.

Directions:  To download the app, students can visit their phone’s app

store and download the “Ellucian GO” application.  Once the app is downloaded, open the app and select “Salve

Regina University” from the menu or type “Salve Regina University” into the search tool, to download and display the configuration.  At the bottom of the app click “Sign In”. Students should use

their My Salve login to authenticate, as this allows the app to provide information specific to each user.

My Grades and My Courses provide course information, including times, and building information, which interfaces with the campus map for directions. Search For Sections allows for browsing classes, as well as adding them to a cart and ultimately registering.

While primarily geared toward current students, the Ellucian GO app may be downloaded and used by all members of the Salve Regina community.

For more information, contact the Help Desk at (401) 341-7777 or helpdesk@salve.edu.
