Freshmen – Freshman applicants will complete a self-report application. We highly recommend students have an unofficial copy of their high school transcript available when applying. Receipt of official final high school transcripts will be required for verification once graduation is posted, transcripts are not required prior to graduation unless specifically requested. Freshmen applicants are encouraged to understand our detailed admission requirements as they plan their high school coursework.

Transfer – You’ll apply as a transfer student if you have completed high school or have your GED and have earned more than 12 college credits since graduation. Official transcripts will be needed in order to post transfer credit to the student’s record, but in the application, unofficial copies can be uploaded to complete the application.

International – All International students will complete the admission process with the assistance of the Center for International Education.

Northern Arizona University, located at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, is ranked the fifth most scenic college campus in the country. We welcome you and your students to take advantage of this beautiful scenery by joining us for a campus visit. We have a variety of visit options for students to choose from, including daily campus tours and Discover NAU days, which are expansive day-long visit programs on select Fridays and Saturdays throughout the year.

College Counselors interested in bringing a group of 10 or more students are encouraged to register for one of our group tours.

Of course, if you cannot make it to Flagstaff, we are more than happy to try to come to you! Would you like to invite an NAU representative to your college fair or recruitment event? Send your request to admissions@nau.edu.

One of the many reasons NAU is consistently rated as one of the top values in higher education is our commitment to providing generous financial aid options for applicants. Our value starts with our four-year Pledge Tuition program, which guarantees a four-year tuition rate and helps keep our cost of attendance affordable for Arizona and Non-Arizona students alike.

In addition to an already affordable cost of attendance, students are automatically considered for a number of scholarships as part of the admission process. Arizona residents are eligible for our Dean’s, President’s and Lumberjack scholarships, while Non-Arizona Residents are eligible for our generous President’s and President’s Excellence scholarships. Students from one of fourteen Western Undergraduate Exchange states, three U.S. Pacific Territories, or three freely associated states will also be automatically awarded our WUE scholarship-one of the most generous WUE scholarships in the country. The Founder’s Blue and Gold scholarships are stackable merit-scholarships for which WUE students will be considered.

We realize that financial aid goes beyond the cost of attendance and scholarship opportunities. Financial aid also means financial literacy. We encourage you to inform your students of our financial aid resources including our Net price calculator, and Handshake-an online student job portal for future Lumberjacks!
