Before You Start

  1. Make sure you have a iPhone smartphone.  An iPad is not recommended unless it has a cellular connection.  (Not iPhone?  Android and Windows Phone)
  2. Make sure you have your username and password for the Apple App Store.

Download the App

To download the App, click the link below:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/duo-mobile/id422663827?mt=8

If you are unable to run the DUO app for some reason, such as your device is too old or your device is restricted from downloading apps, then use text message (SMS) or phone call methods.

Add Your NNU Account

  1. Go to my.nnu.edu in a web browser (Chrome or Firefox is recommended).

    Note

  2. Click the Login button and enter your NNU username and password.
