Student Services

In an effort to promote healthy attitudes towards drinking, National American University provides alcohol education upon request, as well as to students who violate NAU alcohol policies and South Dakota laws.  As a career college, we focus on helping our students develop the skills and knowledge needed to reach career goals.

National American University provides a variety of student organizations.

Student activities are a very important part of the NAU experience. Students are encouraged to become involved in the many student organizations available on campus. These organizations are all a part of our comprehensive approach to career and personal development.   The Maverick Tales is produced and distributed twice a month by the NAU Student Success office.

Some of the many organizations include:

This is an excellent opportunity for students to visit with the president and the council to make recommendations and implement new ideas for campus improvement. Members are selected from the student body by the administration.
