I will be majoring in Immersive Media and Games in the fall. I don't have much experience with computer programming, but I think the major will require programs for art and coding at least. Based on that, does anybody already in this major have any recommendations?
Thank you!
When will students start receiving notice regarding scholarships offered through NAU?
My daughter still needs about $12k in financial aide to cover everything. We are continuously checking her NAU email and scholarship universe but there has been no updates other than the status showing “Reviewing.” The general application was supposed to automatically apply to 30 different scholarships. Did she not get a single one?!? I am starting to worry that she won’t be able to attend either no additional scholarships. And very little notice to change her plans.
I received about 3K from scholarship universe and submitted my thank you note before the deadline. The deadline being June 15th, with that being said nothing has shown up in my LOUIE account regarding those scholarships. Does it take a certain amount of time or something? Hope you guys can help!
Im starting this fall as a transferring Junior. And I was wondering what department or building most of the political science classes are taking in. (So I can base my apartment location on it).
I heard this department/area got crushed from a previous president. But will it be rebuilt? Because it is a nice area to study. I would have liked to learn the Latin and Greek language. And apparently a lot of people get this major to go into law school and such. I was interested more in the classics and archaeology.

Hello, I just realized I'm a little late for choosing a room/housing. I was wondering if I can still acquire housing, since I need it for my first year. Any advice? Thank you
So I’m getting about 20 k for grants and scholarships for the whole year and also doing a biomedical degree… it just showed my charges and it’s looking like the costs are gonna go over that. When I added everything up before they showed the charges it actually added up to around like $13,000. I’m just curious if anyone else can share what their yearly total cost was (I did the cheapest meal plan too).
Does anyone have the most current application fee waiver code? I’ve tried the different ones that people have shared here in the past and they’re not working :( would super appreciate it if anyone has the most up-to-date one!
I’m starting my sophomore year and I will be living off campus contrary to my freshman year i lived at sechrist. I’m stressed about money and i also am into traveling and tbh i miss my man like it’s crazy. So I’ve been debating online for spring 2024 in order to save money by living off campus and making taking less credits. I also want to go home often. To anyone who has done online school how was it like? I’m mainly worried about missing out on connections with professors as well as not holding myself accountable. Also has anyone done online at nau while living out of town?
I’m majoring in Elementary Education in the fall as a freshman, and I was just wondering what the classes are like? The main ones I’m looking at are Intro to Education and Principles of Mathematics.

Hi, i’m going to NAU in August and was wondering if it’s somewhat easy to get a babysitting job? I’ve been babysitting for a few years and was hoping to continue in college. Is it very competitive to get into/should I start putting out posts now?
i'm gonna be starting my second year this fall, but during my freshman year i didn't work. i kinda want to break that trend because i like feeling at least a little financially secure. has anyone here worked any campus jobs or at places nearby?
Okay, I'm too embarrassed to Admissions because I'm a bit dim, it seems lately.
I realized way too late that I still needed to submit my official transcripts, and I've got them taken care of now. I finally got them mailing/processing through Parchment. My question is, if my transcript is delivered but not processed yet, would I still be able to attend? Or am I screwed because I didn't read the "transcripts" correctly?
Im disabled and have a variety of health issues and would like to have a single dorm, do these single dorms have their own bathroom?
I’m planning on transferring, and wanted to know what the music scene is for basement shows / house shows around here? Midwest emo, punk etc. Any bands around that play, I’m from mass so I’m use to seeing bands like catalyst, vs self etc
i’m going to dorm there for my freshman year and i don’t know how it is. also can i have any tips on what to bring and whatnot
I enrolled then withdrew last year before ever attending classes because I went to the hospital, but my NAU Louie to do list says I do not meet SAP GPA requirements and therefore do not qualify for aid. I didn’t ever go to school so I don’t know how I don’t meet the requirements, but I already submitted an appeal and am planning on calling the school tomorrow. Anyways, will this make it so that my fafsa won’t be approved? It says under review and has for four days, I’m worried because the deadline is so soon.
Hey! I’m moving to McConnell Hall this upcoming semester. This is probably a dumb question, but I want to ask just in case. I know the basics of what to get for my dorm, like what you read online and stuff. But I was wondering if there is anything specific to NAU, or at least McConnell that’s a good idea to get as well. Thanks!!
I’m an incoming freshman for fall 2024 and I got waitlisted for the triple one bedroom one bath at the suits from what I’m hearing freshman get priority housing but I’m still worried. I’m in an urgent situation and have to look for new housing. Do you guys recommend looking for other housing or should I not be worried since freshmen get priority housing?
