FINDS - Faculty/online INternet Directory Search

What is FINDS?

FINDS is an automated search directory for Faculty and Staff that was built in-house and coded using the latest web technology PHP and Microsoft SQL Server. Users can query the database using the last name, first name, email id, user id, title, department, and telephone numbers to search for NSU employees.

Administrative functions allow immediate updates to the database. This tool also keeps a unified and accurate contacts record for NSU employees by allowing user validation and updating of personal records.

How to I make changes to or add my information?

Contact information should be updated in FINDS when you are promoted or change positions. It should be added to the directory when an employee is hired.

To correct, update or add information:

1. Go to http://www.nsu.edu/FINDS

2. Click ‘Add or Update my information’ at the top right

3. Click ‘Yes’ to accept the Security Certificate

4. Sign on using your NSU User Name & Password

5. Once you sign in, update your information

6. Press the ‘submit information’ button at the bottom of the page

7. Press the ‘sign out’ link at the top left

If you input your username or password incorrect 3 times, you will automatically be locked out of the system and need to contact:  webmaster@nsu.edu via your NSU Email.
 

Who is responsible for making the directory listing updates?

It is up to the individual Faculty/Staff member to update their own directory information when needed.

What if someone needs to be deleted?

1. The NSU Webmaster relies upon various methods of removing persons from the system, however, in case you notice a listing for a person that is no longer with NSU, please email the NSU Webmaster at webmaster@nsu.edu  and give them the persons full name and department.

2. ALL changes are subject to verification by NSU Webmaster
