Reminders for all NSU community members:

  • The Office of International Affairs would like to remind you that www.nova.edu/coronavirus is the official and most current resource available for NSU updates related to COVID-19.  
  • NSU's official means of communication is through the NSU email address.  It is imperative that students retain access to their NSU email address at all times.
  • Students are strongly recommended to set up multi-factor authorization via the Authenticator app instead of via text message.  This will ensure continued access email, Canvas, SharkLink, and other NSU sites. This should especially be done prior to international travel.  Additional information is available at https://www.nova.edu/oiit/office-365/help/multi-factor-authentication.html.
