NSU Dialup Instructions:

We do not have a help desk to individually walk each student through connecting to our NSU Internet Services.  The information below should help you properly configure your computer.  If you are having trouble connecting – see a Lab Assistant in the Ayo, Cenac, or WAC labs.
