Health and wellness

Campus Health Services (CHS) is your go-to resource for medical care, mental health support, and wellness services on campus. All currently enrolled Flagstaff students who pay the Health and Wellness Fee can access care at CHS.

Campus Health Services

Located in the John Haeger Health and Learning Center, CHS provides comprehensive care for students, faculty, and staff, including primary care, urgent care, mental health services, immunizations, nutrition counseling, laboratory, physical therapy and more. You can meet with doctors, nurse practitioners, and counselors in person or via telehealth.

Primary care

Our experienced healthcare team offers primary care for students, faculty, staff, and eligible dependents (16+). We provide preventive care, treat ongoing conditions, and refer to specialists when needed.

Urgent Care Clinic

Need care quickly? Our physicians and nurse practitioners are here to treat you for a variety of illnesses and injuries. You may schedule online or visit CHS for a same day appointment.

Immunizations

Living and learning in a campus community means protecting your health and others' health.

NAU requires all Flagstaff mountain campus students (born after 1956) to show proof of immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). We also follow CDC and ACHA guidelines to encourage students to stay current on other key vaccines.

Required immunizations

• Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR)

All new and transfer students attending the Flagstaff campus must show proof of MMR vaccination or lab-confirmed immunity before registering for classes. Students born before 1957 and those not attending the Flagstaff campus are exempt.

NAU required vaccinations FAQs

How do I submit my MMR documentation?

Log into the Campus Health Portal, navigate to “Required Forms,” then "Immunization Records,” and upload your MMR records—or drop them off at CHS (HLC, Bldg. 25).

I have received the MMR vaccine, but I don't have documentation. What do I do?

Your provider can order a titer test. If you’re not immune, you’ll need to get the MMR vaccine.

Can I get the MMR vaccination from CHS?

Yes. Schedule an appointment with CHS. You’ll receive two doses, 28 days apart. A temporary override allows class registration after your first dose.

Recommended immunizations

• T-dap
• Meningococcal vaccine
• HPV: Human Papillomavirus
• Influenza vaccine

All of these vaccines, as well as many others, are available by appointment at CHS.

Insurance coverage

Any NAU student, regardless of campus location, who is enrolled for one or more credit hours, and has paid the Health and Wellness or Access Fee, is eligible for services. No insurance is required. While we recommend having insurance to help with costs, we offer flexible options to keep care accessible and affordable for all.
