MyNU is a system that offers personalized content to NU students, carefully selected and organized links, and many other useful services. The system's main function is to bring all of the useful content to our students in an efficient and organized Web site. It also facilitates efficient communication with our students through its messaging system.
Support is available online at www.niagara.edu/it, by phone at 286-7300, or at the Information Technology help desk located on the first floor of St. Vincent’s Hall.
Using a Web browser, go to http://mynu.niagara.edu. Here, you will be able to login to your personal portal using your personal information.
The Student user name is a small "s" followed by your complete seven digit Student Number. Example: Student number = 0034567 then Username = s0034567.
The default password that will be used will follow the following convention:
"Nu" + Day of Birth + last four digits of Social Security Number. If I was born on "June 10" and the last four digits of my Social security number are "3344", my defaulted password will be "Nu103344". Students are strongly encouraged to change their passwords once they’ve logged in for the first time.
If you we do not have the required information to create your initial password, please visit St. Vincent’s Hall room 108 with your student ID for assistance Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
Due to security reasons, we cannot supply you with your existing password. If you have forgotten your password, click on the "Forgot Your Password?" link on the MyNU login page. This will help you set a new password for yourself.
The course schedule is updated nightly. If you make a change during the day, it will not reflect until the following day. The printouts from the Records Office are always the best method of retrieving your schedule, but the MyNU system is accurate as of the previous days status.
Yes! Always use the logout function located in the upper right area of the website. This makes sure that no one else can see your personal data. Also, you should close the Web browser after you logout, especially if you are accessing MyNU from the labs. This rule of thumb goes for all Web-based services where your personal data is used.
On the upper-right of the MyNU page, you’ll see the ‘Change Password’ link. Just click on that and enter your new password in the form provided.
No, the username will be the same throughout your academic life at NU. You can change you password.
Yes. MyNU has a feature that allows different departments on campus to contact students with important information and notices. Also, emergency information such as closings and delays will be listed on your MyNU home page. It is also important to check your NU e-mail account, as this is the primary account used by NU staff and faculty to contact students.
