Ensuring you receive text and email notifications from NIMAA

Ensuring you receive text and email notifications from NIMAA

Throughout both the admissions process and once your are a student, NIMAA will send you notifications via text message and email. To receive these notifications, you need to have a verified text notification number and email address. Of these two, the more important is the text notification number, as it could be used to send emergency notifications.

There are a few ways to set up a verified text number:
  1. The first time you log in, you'll be asked to enter a mobile number as part of the login process.
  2. When you log in to Populi, a yellow banner will offer to let you set one up right then and there. Just enter your number, submit the verification code when it arrives, and you're good to go.

  3. If you no longer use an old texting number, you can send an email to it@nimaa.edu to request a reset text number email.
  4. You can set one up in your personal settings. Instructions for this method are below.

Verifying Your Email and Mobile Number to Receive Notifications

  1. Log in to Populi.
  2. Go to your Settings page by clicking your name in the black bar in the upper right of the Populi screen (right next to the Help link) and selecting Settings from the drop-down that displays.

  3. Click Notifications in the left nav menu.
  4. From here, you can enter either a mobile number, an email address, or both.
    1. If entering a text notification number, enter your mobile number, and click Send Verification Code.
    2. If entering an email notification address, enter the email address and click Send Verification Code.
  5. After entering notification information, you'll need to enter verification codes to finish the setup. Within a couple minutes (usually just a few seconds if you have decent cell coverage), you will receive a text message with your six-digit verification code and/or an email with a verification link.
    1. Text: Go back to your personal settings, enter the text verification code, and click Submit Verification Code.
    2. Email: When you receive the email, click the link to verify your address.
  6. After verifying your notification information, you are all set up. 



Stopping or Changing Notification Info

You can go back to your personal settings at any time to:
  1. Stop receiving text notifications at that mobile number
  2. Change or remove your email notification address.


You can also stop receiving text notifications by replying STOP to any text message from NIMAA .
