COVID-19 Updates & Resources For Students & Alumni

NHI remains committed to our mission of Helping People Have Work they Love.

There is nothing we value more than the health, safety and well-being of our students, alumni, staff and community.

 

FOR CURRENT STUDENTS

In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic, NHI has shifted to online distance education until we can safely return to our campus classrooms.

Please continue to check your emails and be in communication with local campus staff for updates and additional support.

We are currently hosting online information sessions, webinars, and virtual meetings with Admissions and Financial Aid Representatives.
