email Accounts
All entering students are issued a university email account. Important college and university
information will be released via these email accounts; therefore, it is important for students to check
their accounts at least once each weekday. Any official university business being sent by email will
be sent to a student’s NSU email only. Students must use their official NSU email accounts for email
correspondence within the university. NSU employees will not respond to student email from outside
accounts (e.g., AOL, Hotmail, Bellsouth, Gmail, etc.).
Students are expected to maintain professional behavior in all email correspondence. Emails sent to
university or college employees, including faculty and staff members and administrators, must include
the student’s full name, NSU ID number, and primary school site (i.e., Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach,
or Puerto Rico). For example, Jane Doe N01234567, Class of 2014, Fort Lauderdale Site.
All students must comply with the university’s acceptable use of computing resources policy.
Computer Access
All students are required to have ongoing access to a computer capable of connecting to the Internet
and playing streaming video files. Online course notes and discussions will be provided to the student
through the online course management system. Students may use laptop computers in class to take
notes or access pertinent materials. Students accessing material unrelated to the coursework may be
asked to turn their computers off and may be subject to disciplinary action. Students are strongly
encouraged to charge all electrical devices prior to class as there is very limited access to electrical
outlets in lecture halls.
Change of name or Address
Students needing to make a name change or change in mailing address must do so at the beginning
of each semester. Students are required to fill out the data change form, then update their personal
information in WebSTAR (http://webstar.nova.edu) or through SharkLink (http://sharklink.nova.edu).
Proper documentation is needed in the case of name changes. To make this change, students must
complete the data change form with official documentation and submit it to the director of academic
services in the program office.
Registration
All student registrations must be completed and submitted via WebSTAR or directly to the program
office or the Office of Academic Services prior to the first day of classes for the semester in which
the student is attempting to register. This will allow tuition charges and fees to be posted in a timely
manner and the distribution of any financial aid to be accomplished within established state and
federal guidelines. Additional fees will be incurred for late registration.
Students must register for all classes to be taken during the term at the same time.
Adding a Course
Students may add didactic courses only during the drop/add period of the semester.
