Academic Support and Technology
Whether you are looking for assistance picking classes, help with educational technology, tutoring for challenging subjects, or access to books and other resources, we have the staff and tools to meet your needs!
Academics
First year undergraduates have a success coach and everyone else has an academic advisor, but regardless of what they’re called, they’re here to help you navigate your studies and class registration. Learn more at https://nl.edu/student-services/academic-advising-and-success-coaching/
Staff and peer tutors are available on-campus and online, by appointment and at pre-scheduled drop-in hours. Learn more at https://nl.edu/learning-support/.
Our library has more than books! NLU Librarians can provide assistance with your research, including topic development, finding books and articles, search strategies, and navigating library resources. Learn more at https://nl.edu/library/.
NLU’s Online Bookstore provides you with the materials you’ll need for your classes. Check your syllabus, then come here: https://nl.edu/student-services/bookstore/
Technology
You’ll need a laptop computer, not a tablet or phone, to complete your studies. Visit https://nl.edu/lits/training-and-resources/ and click on “Student Laptop Program” for more information on technology requirements.
Desire 2 Learn, or D2L, is the home for all of NLU’s online classes. You can access D2L here: https://d2l.nl.edu/d2l/home and find tutorials for common questions here: https://nl.edu/student-services/d2l-tutorials/.
The NLU Portal is a one-stop shop for many of your administrative needs. https://my.nl.edu.
The Navigate Student app will help you connect with your academic advisor or success coach, learning support, and Career Bridge. https://nl.edu/student-services/academic-advising-and-success-coaching/navigate-student/.
If you have any challenges with your academic technology, visit Student IT Support for self-help guides or contact helpdesk@nl.edu, 24/7.
