Page
You only
need to purchase a textbook (as low as $40 if you read it online) for our
course.
· Don’t have Office
2016? NIU students get Office 365 for
free! Click here.
· Note: Office 365 for Macs does
NOT include Microsoft Access. You can
always do the Access assignments in a Barsema Hall computer lab, or run Access
on your Mac through NIU’s Anywhere Apps
(click here).
(first time running AnywhereApps? You probably need to download
the Citrix Receiver)
(In order to sign in to anywhere apps you
need to either be connected to NIU wifi or (when
working off campus) the NIU VPN. Make
sure the NIU VPN is installed and try and open it and connect. The NIU VPN is
called Cisco Anyconnect. When asked to connect,
connect to vpn.niu.edu. Then when asked to choose a tunnel you can choose the
A-split tunnel. Then sign in using your student credentials. After the vpn is connected sign in to Anywhere Apps.
Keep in mind that to sign in to Anywhere Apps your
username should be just your id (not the whole student email) and the password
for your student account.)
Also,
check Blackboard in the upper left for more help under “Use software in the NIU
cloud”

If
you cannot make AnywhereApps work, try these ideas:
1) Use a Barsema Hall lab
computer to complete your assignments
2) Borrow a Barsema Hall
laptop (from room BH 205)
3) Use a family member’s
or friend’s computer
