7. Verify Your Citizenship
A person who is not a citizen, a legal resident of the U.S., or who is without lawful immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student for tuition purposes. This law applies to all students attending Northern Arizona University.
Students who fail to provide proof of eligibility will be charged out-of-state tuition and cannot receive tuition waivers, grants, scholarship assistance, financial aid, tuition assistance or any other type of financial assistance that is subsidized or paid in whole or in part with state monies.
8. Provide Immunization Documentation
Part of the Medical Services mission is to prevent disease and to keep you healthy. By prioritizing your health, you are more likely to enjoy a successful academic career here at Northern Arizona University. Vaccinations are a simple, safe, and effective way to prevent many diseases that could stop you from attending class or completing your assignments.
Campus Health Services offers a wide variety of immunizations. All are available by appointment with our Immunization Coordinator. During flu season, we also offer pop-up flu shot clinics around campus where appointments are not necessary (see the link to Influenza above). Most insurance plans cover the cost of preventative immunizations.
9. Upload your ID card photo
The JacksCard serves as the official Northern Arizona University identification card for students, faculty, staff and affiliates. The Digital JacksCard is available!
