Navigating the System: Next Steps

Help for student accounts
  1. You should have received two emails during the application process which included your eight-digit number known as your NUID and a second containing a temporary password, login instructions for TrueYou, and instructions for claiming your My.UNL account. Once you've been admitted to NCTA, you are eligible for a My.UNL account (this is the account you will use to login to Canvas). Visit the TrueYou website https://trueyou.nebraska.edu/
  2. After logging in to TrueYou, set the password for your My.UNL account and remember this username and password as it will be used for NCTA-specific services.  Click the link below for step-by-step instructions on claiming your My.UNL account.
