Academic Success & Advising

The Center for Academic Success & Advising (CASA) is the epicenter for supporting students in pursuit of your academic goals.

CASA support begins when you’re a prospective undergraduate student considering your first semester schedule at NNU and continues until you’ve completed your last.

Prior Learning Assessment

At NNU, we know the time spent learning outside a college setting is valuable, and we want to acknowledge you for it. Our Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) program offers college-level undergraduate degree credit for knowledge gained outside the classroom.
