Campus Change Process
If a student is interested in changing from one location to another they will use this application to request a permanent change from your current Northern Arizona University campus to a different NAU campus. It is important to follow campus change steps carefully as a change of campus designation affects tuition rates, financial aid and scholarship eligibility, and academic program availability.
Once a campus change is submitted and approved the change is considered final and not intended to be temporary.
Step 1: Review Campus Change Guidelines Accordion Closed
NAU considers the following factors when changing a student’s campus:
- Academic Program availability: The chosen program must be available at the desired campus. The student must qualify for the program at the desired campus.
- Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE): WUE eligibility requires Flagstaff Mountain campus designation. Changing campus designation forfeits WUE eligibility permanently.
- Tuition: Tuition rates vary by campus.
- Scholarship opportunities: Cost of attendance and scholarship eligibility vary by campus. Changing campus designation may result in the loss of specific scholarships.
- Housing: On-campus housing is available only with the Flagstaff Mountain campus designation.
- International students: Must maintain Flagstaff Mountain or Yuma campus designation.
- Student athletes, Honors students and ROTC students: Must maintain a Flagstaff Mountain campus designation
