FEATURES OF NCU'S ONLINE EXPERIENCE Student Portal Our student portal utilizes our own Learning Management System (LMS) to provide an enriched online experience for NCU students. In addition to delivering easier access to student information, including students' University profiles, NCU´s student portal is "command central" for our student's academic journey. Learning Management System Academic exchanges take place within the NCU Learning Management System (LMS). It contains course syllabi, assignments, faculty information, and the course gradebook. In addition, the LMS includes added content delivery features, such as video chats, live lecture capabilities, quizzes, surveys and embedded video. The Commons NCU´s private academic and professional learning network provides students and faculty the opportunity to build and participate in online communities. Users can share information through live "Facebook-like" activity streams, and curate their academic identities and connections, while keeping these activities separate from their personal social networks. Academic Success Center (ASC) The Academic Success Center is designed to help students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to support student success. Not only can students obtain support materials, but they can receive scholarly writing assistance as well. In addition, students have access to live tutoring through the center. Dissertation Center NCU´s specially-designed support center helps doctoral students develop a dissertation of the highest quality. NCU provides convenient access to style guides and a general overview of dissertation structure. We also offer a section for each of our schools that provides discipline-specific updates and helpful information describing each dissertation process.
