How do I find the required books and supplies for my classes?
Each student can easily access a personalized course materials list based on the classes that they are enrolled in. To do so, login to 'MyNAIT Student Portal' and then choose the 'My Books & Supplies' icon.
You will then be taken to you personalized course materials list. This list can be used to find your resources in store or purchase directly from our online store.
In our main campus store, books are sorted alphabetically by title. The 'My Books & Supplies' list will generally include the store location (aisle) that the item can be found in and will also indicate if the item is currently in stock.

one AT NAIT cards
1. Can a recent grad or part-time student who isn't currently taking courses still use the funds loaded on their card?
Recent grads or students who aren't currently taking courses have up to 18 months after their graduation/last course to use their card online. The key word being ONLINE. This is due to Active Directory (AD) access expiring after 18 months which is required for authentication. The funds on the account never expire and students can always refresh their AD access by going to mynait.nait.ca and clicking sign up. They can also use their card in person.
2. What if a staff member had funds on their card but no longer work at NAIT?
Staff is a bit different as staff use their AD access for more than students and as such their access is turned off immediately. Additionally, the current HR process pays out their one AT NAIT card balance as part of their settlement package. This means that staff usually have no funds in their one AT NAIT account after leaving NAIT.
3. Can a third party can load funds onto a one card (like a student's parent)? If so, what info do they require to do that?
AYes parents, guardians, or other third parties can load funds into student’s one AT NAIT account by going to the following link https://onecard.nait.ca/OneWeb/Parental/LogOn.
