Return to in-person work

Fall 2021 work planning

NAU is initiating a sequenced return to in-person work locations at pre-pandemic levels in advance of the Fall 2021 semester. The return of our faculty and staff to in-person work meets an immediate and essential need: giving our students every advantage as they return for classes this fall.

In-person work guidelines and protocols are being updated and will be posted when they are available.

Currently, more than 50% of NAU’s employees (whether located on the Flagstaff campus or at one of our statewide sites) are working in-person on campus. As we prepare for a vibrant and active Fall 2021, NAU will implement a phased return to in-person work locations, with all employees expected to return to their designated campus/site work locations no later than the following dates:

Aug. 9: All supervisory staff shall be on-campus/designated site.*
Aug. 16: All staff will return to in-person work locations in preparation for the start of the fall semester.
Aug. 16: All faculty will report to in-person work locations as required by their individual teaching assignments, research, scholarly, and creative activity commitments, and service expectations.
Aug. 23: Fall classes begin.

*Human Resources will send out more information in the coming weeks.

Any NAU employee who believes they are eligible for a reasonable accommodation, pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, is encouraged to visit the Disability Resources page.
