What types of exceptions are made?

1. Students often meet all of the requirements but are required to enroll in one in-person class (independent study, thesis etc.) Enrollment in this one in-person class will exclude them from eligibility on the system. Exceptions are made for these students by term on a case-by-case basis, and can be handled by the Student Service Center. Call 1-(800)-426-8315, (928) 523-4212, or send us an email .
   
   
2. Students participating in the WWU program who move to Arizona for work or personal reasons and take 7 or fewer units may be authorized by the president of NAU to maintain the WWU tuition rate until they have established residency. Exceptions are made by term on a case-by-case basis and can be handled by the Student Service Center. Call 1-(800)-426-8315, (928) 523-4212, or send us an email .

The NAU Good Neighbor Policy is an Arizona Board of Regents approved amendment to the requirements for resident status. If you are a non-Arizona resident living in Nevada, Utah, California, or New Mexico (within 75 miles of the Arizona border), you are eligible to attend in-person classes at a statewide campus and pay resident tuition for up to 6 units. If you qualify for the Good Neighbor discount, but wish to take more than 6 units, you will be charged the regular non-resident rate for all units. However, if you enroll in more than 6 units of web and/or satellite (UniversityHouse) classes only, you will be charged 1.5 times the resident rate for all hours in which you are enrolled.
