It’s presented with a unique “LiveMagazine™” technology to capture the attention of our online-savvy students. A companion copy goes to parents or significant others as well as Northark faculty and staff. It is created with the input of a 1,000-member Student Advisory Board, so the articles are sure to benefit our student readers.

Northark’s new
Jenzabar Portal is like a “digital commons”, or a student and staff center on the World Wide Web. This new portal connects students to instructors, counselors, and staff with a single point of access. You will be able to find your classes, connect to courses and schedules, and find groups that you are involved in, like Honors, PBL, Rodeo, and other clubs. With one login and password, you have 24/7 access to your campus e-mail, calendars, chat rooms or on-line exams. Without any other login, you can see your Campus Connect services. You can also customize your home page. For more information view the
Student Guide.
