Important dates & admission deadlines

Undergraduate

NAU offers admission for most programs on a rolling basis. You can apply at any time. Get in touch with Admissions if you have questions regarding applications or about a specific program. Otherwise, start your application today!

Enrollment fee deadline

The enrollment fee is $325 for freshman students and $250 for transfer students. The enrollment fee secures your place in our incoming class and allows you to apply for on-campus housing. For fall term enrollment, the fee is due by May 1 and is non-refundable after June 1. We recommend completing your application early in the spring term to ensure you meet the priority deadline. However, you can still apply and pay your enrollment deposit on any date, even after June 1.
