IT/AV Support

Most student facing and and teaching stations in the Lincoln Engineering complex (NH, SEC, OTHM, and KH) have been migrated to the new NEAD.  This requires the use of the NUID to login.  If you see 'NEAD' underneath the username area, it's been migrated and you will need to use your NUID to login.  If it still says "UNL-AD", then you would still use your short username, "first initial followed by last name, and digit (eg hhusker1)

Also, it appears that ITS has migrated all of the GP classrooms in the vicinity too.

Microsoft Windows 10 is going "End of Life" on October 14, 2025.  That means there will be no updates for Windows 10 after that time.  Sometime after that ITS will most likely restricting Windows 10 devices on the network since there will be no more security updates.  If you can, you should update to Windows 11 as soon as practical.

The College of Engineering supports a number of rooms for local and remote teaching and collaboration. Most rooms are equipped with computers, whiteboards, conferencing equipment, document cameras and wireless video. They are suitable for Blended and Flipped Learning, small groups, and traditional lecture style.

Rooms managed by the Dean's Office may be scheduled through the Room Reservation System.

Support Information

The first 9 days of September 2025, ITS will be "migrating" College of Engineering affiliated accounts to their new system.  They are calling this "Future Ready Cloud Collaboration Workspace", aka FRCCW.

The NU Support Knowledge Base section on FRCCW including calendar of other unit's migration timelines.

The most important things for most faculty will be that your email login will change, and OneDrive and SharePoint links will change.  Post migration you will login to most services with NUID@nebraska.edu  If you put any OneDrive/SharePoint links into Canvas they will need to be updated post-migration.  If you have shared access or links with entities in other Colleges, they too will have to be re-shared, until the unit migrates.
