Campus Maps
Where are you going? What’s the name of that building? Many questions can be answered by consulting a campus map.

Firefly: (employee business portal)
Firefly is the University’s web-based system that allows employees to manage their leave requests, print payroll stubs and W-2s, make changes to their home address/phone and W-4, allocate credits for the Employee and Dependent Scholarship Program (full-time employees only), complete NUFlex benefit paperwork, etc. Payroll stubs are archived, so there is accessibility to current and past pay stubs. Your ID is your NU ID# (on your NCard). If you are unable to access Firefly using the link above, click here and then select the Firefly tab.
Parking
