Steps post-acceptance: transfer student

Congratulations, Lumberjack! Welcome to NAU

Once you’re accepted to NAU, follow these steps to complete your admissions process:

1.  Confirm your enrollment

Accept your offer and pay your enrollment fee (if applicable). Statewide and online students do not pay an enrollment fee. Paying the enrollment fee secures your spot and enables you to apply for housing. Please allow one business day for payment processing before applying for housing.

• Fall: The enrollment fee is $250. This fee is due by May 1 and is non-refundable after June 1.
• Spring: The enrollment fee is $250 and is refundable until December 1.

2. If you haven’t already, apply for financial aid

Complete the FAFSA and take advantage of scholarships and grants to minimize your cost of attendance at NAU. Be sure to review the financial aid instructions for all the details you need.

3. Apply for housing

If you plan on living on campus, review application deadlines and learn how to apply for housing at NAU.

4. Upload important documents (if applicable)

Upload important documents (if applicable), including your immunization records and ID photo, as outlined in your LOUIE account. Statewide and online students are not required to submit immunization records, and ID cards are optional. Visit the Health & Wellness page to review immunization requirements, frequently asked questions, and instructions for submission.

5. Apply for scholarships

• Additional scholarships are available for students to apply for via Scholarship Universe.
• The general and NAU Foundation scholarship applications close on April 15.

6. Complete priority enrollment and academic advising

Make sure your transfer to NAU is seamless by signing up for Priority Enrollment to complete academic advising and register for your classes. This required step helps our advisors understand which of your credits will transfer and ensures you start your NAU journey with the right academic plan.

7. Apply to the Honors College (optional)

The Honors College requires an additional application that opens in September.

8. Send us your transcripts

• Have final, official transcripts sent from all schools previously attended.
  • Fall deadline: July 1
