Arrange housing
If you arrive before or after these dates, you must make arrangements to get
to campus as well as stay in a hotel. If you have applied and been accepted for
on-campus housing, the dorms available for fall will open for regular check-in
on Saturday, August 24. Early accommodation is available in NAU residence halls
for students with campus housing contracts from August 20 (Tuesday) through
August 24 (Saturday) at additional cost. When arriving prior to the move-in
date, you must make other housing arrangements until your move-in date.
Submit your request for arrival using the form below (requires your university
ID number)
We also advise that you arrange your housing accommodations before coming to
Flagstaff, in order to make your arrival smoother. To inquire about on-campus
housing, please visit NAU Residence Life Housing Options. For
off-campus housing options, please see the new admitted student information at Admitted Students.
Shuttle from Phoenix
Flagstaff is approximately two hours from the Phoenix airport, so if you are
flying into Phoenix, we recommend using Arizona Shuttle, which makes frequent
trips from the Phoenix airport to the Flagstaff train station and Northern
Arizona University campus. You can find more information about them and make
reservations at their website.
Credit cards
Please note that it is your responsibility to have a working American credit
card or enough American cash to cover the cost of the taxi fare.
