Academic Advising for New Students
STEP 1
Pick up your orientation packet
All new students must check in. For students who didn’t attend a JumpStart event, make sure you meet with an admissions representative to complete the Student Information Sheet & Temporary Registration Permit.
STEP 2
Take care of the details
- Have your picture taken for your ID card in the Learning Commons; ID cards are required for meals beginning Saturday
- Check housing assignment
- Submit records for required immunizations to Health Services, if not previously submitted
- Confirm your NNU box number; go to the NNU Mail Room in the former Student Center to confirm your NNU box number and obtain a key or combination
STEP 3
Make payment arrangements for your student account
Pay your portion of the remaining balance on your NNU portal or stop by Student Financial Services in the Emerson Administration Building to finalize your payment arrangements.
