New to NAU?

Welcome to Northern Arizona University. The benefits you receive from Northern Arizona University are an important part of your total compensation package. Because not everyone has the same needs, our benefit program allows you to select the plans and levels of coverage that are right for you and your family.

New Employee Welcome “NEW”

You are encouraged to attend a benefits orientation.  At “New”, Human Resource representatives meet with newly eligible employees to review the details of each benefit program and answer any questions you may have. Find out how to register for “NEW“.
