Campus living community recommendations for COVID-19
What to expect
We all share the responsibility of maintaining healthy campus living communities. To prepare for your arrival and on-campus experience, please note the following:
- NAU is a mask-friendly campus. Masks are not required outdoors, and are recommended indoors.
- Guests are allowed in a building when accompanied by a member of that community, and following the Standards of Residence and Student Code of Conduct.
- Campus Health Services, Campus Living, and Student Affairs/Office of the Dean of Students all support student physical and mental health needs throughout the academic year. Please visit Campus Health Services for health care needs.
To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on campus, NAU strongly encourages students to consider receiving the COVID-19 vaccination prior to coming to campus. Students not vaccinated are highly encouraged to follow the recommendations below.
