New faculty will work with Human Resources to complete new hire paperwork. On the date of hire, new faculty will begin their onboarding training program. This will vary depending on the modality in which you teach.
Classroom/Cohort Model: In this model, students take courses in cohorts in NU Brightspace. Each course lasts 4 weeks and students all start and end at the same time during these four week terms. Faculty get a new course offering in NU Brightspace each term.
One-to-One/Personalized Model: In this model, students take courses in NCUOne. The can start a course any Monday. One-to-one courses are typically 8 or 12 weeks in length. Faculty have one course offering for each course they teach. the faculty can view all the students taking the course in their course offering but the students do not see each other.
Note: Based on your role and school requirements, you may receive additional training outside of the standard onboarding training program.
Everything at NU revolves around the NU Single Sign-On (SSO) page. The SSO page authenticates users to use multiple university applications and websites. Once logged in, you will be taken to NU’s portal which contains links to all the resources you will need to be a faculty member and work at NU. Each of the links is represented by a button or ‘chiclet’.
IT will send new faculty members their SSO login credentials. If you did not receive credentials or are having trouble logging in, contact Help Desk at 1-866-NU-ACCESS ext. 3580.
Currently NCUOne is not available through Single Sign-On (SSO). Faculty teaching in the one-to-one model will receive an additional set of credentials that they will use to log in to NCUOne.
