What is it used for?

Your NSU email name is usually part of your name (first, last, or a combination of the two). Your password consists of 4 letters and 4 numbers. Your email address will be your NSU email name@nsu.nova.edu.
For example, if Joe College's email name is jcollege, his email address would be jcollege@nsu.nova.edu.
