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
*Commuters—check your wing 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.

First Year Retreat 2023
First Year retreat provides an opportunity for first-year students to experience this yearly tradition for a couple of days at Trinity Pines Camp and Conference Center, about two hours from NNU. This retreat is one of the first opportunities for the entire first-year class to come together and learn what it means to be a Nighthawk.
