Traditional Undergraduate students will need an NNU post office box. The primary communication from professors, administrators and campus messages is the NNU email system, but since not all information can or should be emailed, the secondary means is your NNU post office box. It is essential for you to have an NNU post office box. Note: It is the responsibility of the student to check their NNU email and NNU post office box on a regular basis.

All students must use the NNU email address for official NNU communications. It is not allowable to forward your NNU emails to an outside email system, such as Yahoo or Gmail.

If your name does not appear on a course roll, you may not be officially registered for the course. Go to the Registrar’s Office to resolve the problem.

No. Unless you officially drop the course with an Add/Drop form or through the portal, you will remain enrolled in the class and will receive a detrimental final grade, as well as being charged the appropriate tuition and fees, if any, for that class.
