Get NORTHnav!
The NORTHnav app is free. Search Navigate Student in the App Store or Google Play. NORTHnav is MSU-Northern's name for the EAB Navigate360 Student app so searching NORTHnav will not find it.
Faculty and staff: the app is for students only. Faculty and Staff use NORTHnav in
a web browser.
See NORTHnav for Faculty and Staff.
How to schedule an appointment
- Open the app, which will likely default to the Home screen.
- Tap the person icon in the bottom bar. This screen shows your appointments, with tabs for My Appointments, My Team, and History. Check Upcoming first so you do not book something you already have.
- Tap Schedule Appointment near the top.
- Answer "What type of appointment would you like to schedule?"
- Choose a Service.
- Pick a date, then tap Find Available Time.
- Choose a time. The staff member and the location come attached to the time you pick, so there is nothing else to choose.
- Add a comment if you want your advisor to know what you need, then confirm.
Shortcut: if you already know what you need, tap the rocket icon in the bottom bar, then Schedule Appointment, to go straight to step 4.
Using the browser version? After you log in, select Appointments in the left menu. It has the same person icon as the app. Check the My Appointments tab so you do not book something you already have, then follow the steps above starting at step 3.
What happens next
An email confirmation sends right away to your preferred email in NORTHnav provided by MyMSU-Northern. Then an email reminder 24 hours before and a text reminder 30 minutes before. The text comes from 406-740-6635 and does not accept calls.
Check the top of your confirmation email for the exact room and how to find it. For appointments with faculty, the location only shows the building.
To cancel, open the appointment in the app. There is no reschedule button, so cancel and book again.
