The department has an electronic student center where all students can receive department messages and other useful information. Students will also be able to communicate with each other there. All official college communication will be done through NSU email. Please make a habit of checking this frequently for messages. SharkLink offers an electronic portal that allows students easy access to all of the Nova Southeastern University electronic resources with a single user name and password submission. Email Accounts Internet-based email is one of the primary communication methods between programs and students at NSU. All students are assigned an email account upon matriculation. Students must maintain and regularly check mail addressed to their NSU email address. NSU faculty and staff members will only use the student’s NSU email address for correspondence. As a convenience to the student, it is possible to have NSU mail forwarded to an off-campus email address by using the NSU Email Forwarding System located at www.nova.edu/commonlib/docs /emailfwd.html . Further information about email can be obtained from the NSU Help Desk at (954) 262-4357 or at www.nova.edu/help . NSU mail can be checked from any Internet browser at http://webmail2.nova.edu . Web Mail All official NSU business such as information on a student’s account, financial aid, class emails, etc., is handled through the NSU email account—the one that students are signed up for at the beginning of the program and that ends in @nova.edu . Make sure to check this email account frequently via SharkLink, which can also be accessed at www.nova.edu . The link is found in the upper, right-hand corner of the home page. The NSU College of Nursing Web site is www.nova.edu/nursing .
