Academic advising for NAU graduate students
Before enrolling in graduate courses at Northern Arizona University, you may contact a graduate coordinator or advisor for guidance. For general inquiries about advising, emails can be sent to GradCollegeOffice@nau.edu. Please note that the NAU Graduate College does not serve as an advising resource, rather, academic advising should come directly from the programs.
