GETTING STARTED AS AN ONLINE STUDENT
The Help Desk provides assistance for Northwestern students.
Our goal is to serve as a main contact for students to obtain support with issues such as computer hardware and software problems, account access, and network connectivity.
ANNOUNCEMENT
Student Technology labs follow the NSU academic calendar. The labs do not open on any weekend that precedes or follows a scheduled student break and do not reopen until the official date and time that classes resume.
Student Web Printing
Web Printing is a service to enable printing for laptop, wireless and unauthenticated users without the need to install print drivers. Submitted print jobs will be held in the print queue of the chosen printer for one hour before being deleted. Please ask the lab worker to release your job when you arrive at the lab. Print jobs are available during the lab's normal operating hours.
File types that can be used for web printing include Microsoft Word (.doc & .docx), Microsoft Excel (.xls & .xlsx), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt & .pptx), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) and Microsoft Document Writer files (.xps).
