Instructions
1. Standard Login
Follow these simple steps to log in and reach your dashboard.
- Navigate to the login page: Go to the Cascade login page at https://cascade.internal.fhsu.edu.
- Enter your credentials
- For faculty and staff, the username is your FHSU TigerNetID (your FHSU email address without the "@fhsu.edu").
- Student employees must add ".se" to the end of their username.
- Access your dashboard: you will be directed to your user dashboard.
2. Off-campus (Using VPN)
Cascade is secured to the university network. If you are working from a personal hotspot or any off-campus network, you must first connect to the FHSU VPN.
- Requirement: Install and launch GlobalProtect VPN before attempting to access the Cascade login page.
- Instructions: For step-by-step guidance on setting up and using the VPN, please see: How to Use GlobalProtect.
3. Quick Access: Edit Pages Directly from the Live Site
You can bypass the dashboard and open a specific page directly in Cascade from the live website. This is the fastest way to make edits to a page you are currently viewing.
- On the public FHSU website, navigate to the page you would like to edit.
- In the page footer, click the copyright icon (©).
- If prompted, log in with your TigerNetID and password.
- The page will open in the Cascade CMS editor.
