Northern Arizona University (NAU) operates on a rolling admissions basis for most programs, but priority deadlines ensure consideration for scholarships and financial aid. The fall semester priority deadline is typically May 1, while the spring semester deadline is November 1. Summer session deadlines vary by program.
Graduate programs often have specific deadlines, usually 2-3 months before the term starts. International students should apply earlier to accommodate visa processing. NAU accepts applications via the NAU Online Application or Common App. For exact dates, consult the university’s admissions website, as deadlines may shift slightly each year.
