NAU Undergraduate Admissions - What to Expect?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about applying to Northern Arizona University for my undergrad studies. Can anyone shed some light on their admissions process? Things like what they look for in applicants, the deadlines, and whether they have rolling admissions or not. Thanks for any info!

Hello! Northern Arizona University (NAU) has a fairly straightforward admissions process. Here's some information on what to expect:

1. Application Deadlines: NAU operates under a rolling admissions policy, so there is no hard application deadline. However, submitting your application early is advantageous, since there are more spots open in the class. For more information on rolling admissions, check out this blog post from CollegeVine: https://blog.collegevine.com/what-is-rolling-admissions/. Do note that scholarships or particular programs could have their own deadlines - I'd suggest reaching out to NAU's admissions office directly to make sure you aren't missing anything.

2. Application Requirements: To apply, you'll need to submit an online application, an official high school transcript, and an SAT or ACT score (if you choose to submit test scores; NAU is test-optional). In addition to GPA and test scores, NAU may consider factors such as the rigor of your high school curriculum, your class rank, and any improvement in academic performance when evaluating your application.

3. Academic Requirements: NAU typically looks for students with a minimum GPA of 2.75 on a 4.0 scale for admission. However, if your GPA falls below 2.75, you may still be eligible for admission, if you have notable strengths in areas like demonstrated leadership, extracurricular involvement, and personal achievements.

In summary, the key to a successful application to NAU is to submit a complete application with your academic records and test scores (if you have them) as early as possible, to maximize your chances for scholarships and admission to your desired program. Good luck!
