Honors College Advising Center
If you’re looking to track your progress toward graduation requirements within the Honors College, get career advice, or help working through personal issues, we are here to help you. From your first year until your last, we make it easy to connect with an Honors adviser. Even the Dean and Assistant Director make themselves available for advising assistance.
We will be adding new Honors specific enrollment/advising videos to the Honors Advising playlist on the Gateway YouTube Channel throughout the semester. You can access these brief, informative videos HERE.
For all NAU Flex, COVID-19, remote learning, class waitlists, housing/move-in, financial aid, or payment questions, please contact the NAU Student Service Center: https://in.nau.edu/student-service-center/
