HP570 : Start

Get Started

Registration

  • If you are currently enrolled at NAU you may register online at www.nau.edu/louie or by calling (928) 523-1122.

  • If you are not currently enrolled at NAU, contact graduate admissions at www.nau.edu/gradcol or call (928) 523-4348.

  • If you have already registered and this is your first time in the course, you should:

    Make sure you meet the technical requirements listed on the help page and get the required plug-ins.

    Make sure you have a required NAU DANA account.

    Read Get Started to learn how the course will be delivered.

    Order the course course text, and SHPPS 2000 (see syllabus for detailed information), and download the School Health Index (you may select elementary or secondary level)

    Read the syllabus.

  • The majority of the course work can be found within "the class." You can also communicate with others in the course, view additional resources from Cline Library, or get technical help.

New students are required to obtain an account on the student unix computer DANA. DANA gives NAU students, who agree to abide by proper ethical standards, access to the Internet including electronic mail, the Cline library on-line catalogue, world wide web home pages (httpd), and usenet news.

Accessing these sort of Internet services requires establishing an electronic identity (essentially an electronic mail address). This can be done by acquiring a computer account on the DANA machine. Any currently enrolled student, who is willing to use these resources responsibly, is permitted an account on the DANA machine.
