New Incoming Students

Your first term enrollment at NAU begins by completing a Priority Enrollment (PE) profile. Your advisor will use this profile to evaluate your placements, transfer credit, and begin enrollment into your first semester’s classes.

If you are part of the NAU Honors College, please select the “Honors Advising Module”. Everyone else, please select “Advising Module”.

Completing this quick module is a required step prior to attending an advising appointment. Please watch the videos, review the information, and complete the survey at the end. This module will teach you how to review your degree requirements and select classes.

New incoming students can schedule a 30-minute appointment with an Academic Advisor to review their major and transfer credit, finalize their schedule, and ask questions. Appointments are available In-Person, Online (Zoom), and by Phone.
