How do I request web space for my student organization or club?
For information on requesting web space, please see the NSU Student Club/Organization Web Space Request Procedure.

What computing languages can I use to build my web pages?
You can use HTML to create your pages. You can also use JavaScript and Flash to enhance your organizations web site. OIT has resources available for student organizations to enhance communication with members and enhance their web presence.
Can my club's web site have a shorter URL/web address?
Yes, you can request a shortened URL when the Web Team sets up your web space. The shortened URL will correspond to your organization's name.
How can my organization communicate with its members via email?
An electronic mailing list is a list of names and email addresses of people who usually share a common interest and wish to communicate with each other. One email address is used to send a message to all persons on the electronic mailing list (listserv). A listserv will allow the club members to communicate with the group. The club/organization president can use the Listserv Request form to request a listserv for the organization.
Can my organization have a special email address?
Your organization can have special email address, or email alias, that will forward email to designated member's email accounts. For example, your organization's special email address is myclub@nsu.nova.edu. Email sent to this address will go to the accounts of designated member (i.e. janedoe@nsu.nova.edu and johndoe@nsu.nova.edu). To request a special email address (alias) for your organization, please send email to webteam@nsu.nova.edu.
