- If you're on campus (via an Ethernet connection or secure wireless) or off campus using the VPN, it will take you to the FDO welcome page.
- If you're on a non-UNH computer, it will take you to a log-in page; log in with your UNH credentials.
Once you're at the FOD welcome page, look for "HI UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE" in the upper right corner of the page to be sure you're good to go.
(If you are directed to the Foundation Center page that tells you how to sign up, contact the UNH Library here to report the problem.)
