Where to Find Key Resources on the Hannibal-LaGrange University Website

Updated

The Hannibal-LaGrange University (HLGU) site organizes its main services into a few top-level menus: Academics, Admissions, Student Life, Alumni, News & Events, and About HLGU. Current students, applicants, alumni, and visitors each have a clear starting point. The sections below map the resources named in the site's navigation to the menu where they live, so you can go straight to the page you need.

For Current Students: Portal, Library, Registrar, and Schedules

The Academics menu is the hub for day-to-day academic tools. It links to:

  • MyHLGU — the portal entry point (also listed under About HLGU)
  • Library — the library page, also reachable from the Academics menu
  • Registrar — registrar information and services
  • Class Schedules — current schedule listings
  • Current Catalog and Textbooks — catalog and textbook information
  • Academic and Career Services — advising and career support
  • Honors Program — program details

If you are unsure which office handles a request, start with the Registrar for records and scheduling questions, and Academic and Career Services for advising matters.

For Applicants: Admissions, Aid, and Deposits

The Admissions menu covers the full application path:

Need Where to go
Start an application Apply Now (Admissions menu)
Talk to someone Admissions Counselors
Plan a visit Campus Visit Days, Day Virtual Campus Tours, Experience HLGU
Costs and aid Financial Aid; Pay Admissions fees and deposits
International applicants International Students

The site also surfaces Request info and Apply now links at the top of the homepage, so you can begin without opening the menu.

For Alumni and Donors: Transcripts, Updates, and Giving

The Alumni menu collects:

  • Update Your Information — keep contact details current
  • Alumni Spotlight and Alumni Events — news and gatherings
  • Transcripts — transcript requests
  • Give Now — online giving

Giving links also appear in the site header (Give) and under About HLGU (Give to HLGU). Alumni events such as Homecoming and HLGU Day of Giving are listed under News & Events.

Campus Calendar, News, and the Campus Map

  • Campus Calendar — listed in the News & Events menu and again under About HLGU
  • News & Events — Family Weekend, Homecoming, Commencement, Booster Night, HLGU Magazine, and the Day of Giving
  • Downloadable Campus Map — under About HLGU

Upcoming events are also promoted directly on the homepage, for example Booster Night with The Gettys (November 7, 2026) and the theatre production The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (October 29–31, 7 pm), each with a ticket link.

Contact, Accreditation, and Consumer Information

The About HLGU menu is where institutional information lives:

  • Contact Us — general contact entry
  • Accreditation — accreditation details
  • Consumer Disclosures — required disclosures
  • Institutional Effectiveness — institutional data and effectiveness
  • Vision, Mission, & Core Values, Meet Our President, Podcasts, and Why HLGU?
  • Office of Business Services and Employment Opportunities

For prospective students comparing the university, the homepage highlights its founding year (1858) and graduate outcome figures; the About HLGU pages give the fuller institutional picture.
