Adding Users

New Users Must First Register Themselves: Before they can be assigned a role on an existing site, new users must first register with NUSites.

To register, users must login to NUSites with their NetID and password. They can login by visiting sites.northwestern.edu and clicking the green “Login” button, or by navigating to this link directly:
