Getting NORTHnav and logging in

Faculty and staff use NORTHnav in a web browser. Use the Log in to NORTHnav button on the NORTHnav for Faculty and Staff page and sign in with your NetID and password.

To go straight there next time, bookmark msun.campus.eab.com.

You will access NORTHnav using your NetID. When your account is set up, you will receive an email from Enrollment Management. If you have not received it or cannot log in, email navsupport@msun.edu. 

No. The Navigate Student app is for students only. Faculty and staff use NORTHnav in a web browser.

Features and Functionality

Set your availability in NORTHnav at the start of each semester. Before you start, sync your Outlook calendar so students cannot book over your existing commitments. Step-by-step instructions are on the page for your role:

If a course detail is wrong, such as the course, section, meeting time, or room, contact the Registrar's Office at registrar@msun.edu. Recent changes can take up to 24 hours to appear in NORTHnav.

If the course details are right but your NORTHnav calendar shows them incorrectly, email navsupport@msun.edu.

Open User Settings from the user menu. There you can set your email signature, default term, and the page NORTHnav opens to when you log in.

Choose Staff Home if you set your availability, since that is where the My Availability tab lives.

Appointment reminder emails and texts are set by NORTHnav administrators, not in User Settings. For questions about reminders, email navsupport@msun.edu.
