Returning to campus

Safety is our #1 priority. Using up-to-date guidance from federal, state, and local experts, here’s what you need to know about NAU operations.

This website will be updated with what the NAU community needs to know about our COVID-19 response, including links and information to help you stay informed. This guidance may be changed and/or supplemented as new information becomes available.

Planning for a vibrant in-person fall semester

Recommendations and protocols:

Welcoming mask wearing at all indoor campus locations. Masks are not required unless you’re at Campus Health Services, any vaccination and testing sites, and on all buses and shuttles.
Asking that you stay home, get tested, and follow guidance from medical professionals should you feel unwell and/or experience symptoms associated with COVID-19
Documenting positive COVID-19 cases through the positive COVID-19 form
