How do I log in? What's my username and password?

Procedure for student accounts:

Your NU ID is the 8-digit number found in the lower-left portion of your NCard above the barcode. The password will be the password chosen in your TrueYou account.

For further instructions on TrueYou, visit http://admissions.unl.edu/myred.aspx

2.             Once you have entered MyRed, click on the "Student" tab and look under UNL Other Services link.

3.             Next, click on the My.UNL Blackboard Username link to view your username. This is the username you will use to log into Blackboard at my.unl.edu

Procedure for faculty/staff accounts:

1.                      Go to UNL Peoplefinder.

2.                      To use Peoplefinder, simply enter your last name in the text field. When you find yourself, click your name.

3.                      Your e-mail address should appear at the bottom of the window. Your username is "alias" of your email address in lowercase without the "@unl.edu" part (for example; perickson3). Your Blackboard login name will consist of your first initial, last name and a number. It does not include the information found after the @ symbol.

If this field is blank, please contact the UNL Helpdesk.

Part 2: Your password:

Your password by default is your NU ID number found on your NCard; the NU ID is the 8-digit number found in the lower-left portion of your NCard above the barcode. Use this to login the first time.

What if I don't know my NU ID number?

All on-campus students, faculty and staff should acquire an NCard from the NCard Office. Distance students are notified of their NU ID by the office of Extended Education and Outreach.  Please note: the Extended Education & Outreach office can not give NU ID# to distance education students living in Lincoln.  Lincoln distance education students are required to go into the NCard office.
