Welcome to NAU! Announcing a reimagined orientation experience for new students

NAU is changing how we do New Student Orientation to make sure all of our students get the full Lumberjack experience from day one.  

Starting with the incoming class this fall, new freshmen and transfer students will do online modules over the summer followed by an immersive Lumberjack Welcome in the week before school starts. The aim is to get students excited about NAU and give them important information without requiring an additional trip to Flagstaff over the summer, which could be challenging for many students, including lower-income and first-generation students. 

It’s all part of NAU’s culture of relentless welcome and strategic mission to radically increase the number of Arizonans who get an education that prepares them to enter the workforce.
