What is an Affiliate? Accordion Open
An affiliation is a general term that can include any number of relationships with NAU across the spectrum from completely informational to formal employment. A principal affiliation further defines the nature of the relationship. Affiliates must be sponsored by a current NAU employee of authority (Dean, Director, or higher).
Examples of such affiliations include:
- Adjunct Faculty
- AWC NAU-Yuma
- Researchers (Arboretum, USGS, etc.)
- Auditor General
- Cline Library
- Four Corners Math Science Program
- Park Ranger Program
- Emeriti
- Retirees
- Visiting Professor
- Vista Access

How to Request Accordion Closed
Request a New Affiliate
The NAU affiliate sponsor may submit a request for a new affiliation by filling out the printed affiliate request form and submitting it to the email address listed on the form. Note: A current NAU employee in a position of authority (Dean, Director, or higher) must submit the request.
Renew an Affiliate
The NAU affiliate sponsor may renew an affiliate by filling out the new affiliate form above. If no biographical information has been changed, for the affiliate, the affiliate sponsor or contact may submit a Service Ticket.
Request a New Affiliation Type
If NAU affiliate sponsors believe that a new affiliation type should be added to the current list, you can do this by:
- Review the What is an Affiliate tab.
- Review services available to affiliates.
- Complete the Affiliation Type Request form. This process can take 4-6 weeks for President’s Cabinet approval, so be sure to plan for the proper amount of time to complete your affiliation type request.
Resources for retirees Accordion Closed
Qualified retirees can maintain their email access through NAU for professional and personal use.
Retirees are responsible for any FERPA protected data in their email account upon retirement. ITS recommends that all retirees remove any FERPA protected data upon retirement.
Email eligibility is based on being fully vested in one of the primary retirement plans (ASRS, PSPRS, ORP). Eligibility for NAU retiree affiliate email accounts will be determined by a Human Resources representative.
Individuals on long term medical disability status from NAU, regardless of age, are also eligible.
Faculty emeriti do not have to fill out this form to keep their NAU Exchange Email.
In order to maintain your email after you retire, you must contact Human Resources and fill out the Retiree Email Services Application Form.
