Northeastern Account FAQs

Why am I getting a Northeastern sponsored account?

Northeastern University–London employees who are deemed faculty, professional, and executive committee are automatically assigned a Northeastern (northeastern.edu) sponsored account. This provides access to Northeastern University resources needed for university business and teaching without replacing existing nulondon.ac.uk. accounts.

Sponsored accounts are an interim solution until such a time when systems may be more fully integrated.

How do I get access to my northeastern.edu account?

Activate the northeastern.edu account when you’re notified by email that it’s ready. Please read the included instructions carefully. Then, enroll in Duo two-factor authentication.

How can I confirm that my account is setup?

If you have an active account and have enrolled in Duo two-factor authentication, you can log in to manage your account.

What do I get with a northeastern.edu account?

The new online accounts are expected to make it easier than ever for faculty and staff across the global university community to communicate and collaborate with one another, from anywhere, at any time.  

For example, you may be able to better collaborate with Northeastern colleagues via Microsoft Teams from your devices or with the Teams-enabled meeting spaces on campus, access the full Microsoft 365 Office suite, use academic software licensed by Northeastern, and download Adobe cloud software.  

What email account should I use?

Your nulondon.ac.uk account remains your core email account and so please continue to use that for all communications. 

A northeastern.edu mailbox will be assigned to your sponsored account. All messages sent to this account will be automatically forwarded to your nulondon.ac.uk mailbox so you only have one mailbox to manage. 

How do I manage my Northeastern password?

After activating a Northeastern account, update your password or manage account settings anytime using the appropriate link below. 

What will happen to my existing nulondon.ac.uk account?

Nothing is changing with nulondon.ac.uk access and email accounts at this time. You should continue to use your Northeastern-London account as you do today, including for access to NU London Canvas, Northeastern library resources, and LinkedIn Learning online courses. You can expect more information and training about leveraging some of these resources with your northeastern.edu account.  

How long is this account good for?

The northeastern.edu account will not expire and does not need to be renewed. Accounts are automatically retired when employment at Northeastern University-London ends.

Teams Transition FAQs

Why are Northeastern London staff transitioning to Microsoft Teams?
