The NLU Technology Initiative

Central to the mission of National Louis University is the commitment to facilitate access to academic programs, provide academic support, integrate knowledge across disciplines, and encourage the active participation of learners. A National Louis University education enables the learner to fulfill personal and professional goals as a citizen of a diverse society and a global community. Sophisticated use of information technology is an essential, integral component of both the learning process and the provision of administrative and student support services.

To achieve these goals, National Louis University established an agreement with Ellucian, a company that provides in-house information technology services to colleges and universities throughout the United States.
