Student Success Tour
The Student Success Tour is located under the heading “For New Students” on the Student Portal. Students may also contact their Academic Advisors with questions about navigating their Student Portal and Course Pages.
Educational Materials and Resources
Appropriate course materials, course syllabi, and course outlines are used for each course. Required course materials are indicated in the course syllabus by title, author, publisher, and ISBN. Students that opt out of the Course Materials Fee (CMF) are responsible for purchasing course materials identified in the syllabus they are issued for each course. Students that opt in to the CMF will have materials provided for them. Note: required course materials, textbooks, or other readings are not eligible for interlibrary loan in the Library.
It is students’ responsibility to make sure they purchase the primary course materials if they opt out of the CMF and or other textbook(s) and resources required in the syllabus the student is issued. Students must determine from their syllabus what course materials are required. Northcentral University may have more than one version of a particular syllabus issued to students. Northcentral University is not responsible for student purchases of course materials that do not match assigned syllabi.
Northcentral University’s online textbook supplier is RedShelf. Students having difficulty finding required textbooks and course materials may contact his or her Academic Advisor or email bookstore@ncu.edu for assistance. Books can be obtained through other vendors, and for those looking for alternate formats, such as e-texts, students should be aware that they need to purchase the correct edition of the book.
