It is my honor to announce that the North American University, is reopening and starting a new semester!!! The NAU was created several months ago as a brain child of Emerick. However after two months of difficulty it closed and has not operated since.

Im sure you all have a lot of questions at the moment, so let me try to clear them up?

What is the NAU?
As I said above the NAU was created by Emerick, he felt that the eUS needed a higher education institution to help better educate its citizenry. The NAU offers classes in a variety of subjects, I will get to those shortly.

Why did the NAU fall apart the First time?
The original structure for NAU classes and instruction had a lot of difficulty adapting to the busy schedule of eRep players. Originally students were required to attend a number of IRC classes. This proved to be hard for a large number of students and the professors. As a result this time around the approach to class instruction will be forums based and will allow for more flexibility.

Why Should I attend the NAU?
It takes a long to to learn what is going on in eRepublic. Furthermore this knowledge is not always readily available. Players often become frustrated when questions go unanswered or they do not understand the context behind a discussion. The NAU's purpose is to end these problems. As an educational institution it is the NAU's stated purpose to help citizens gain the knowledge they need to get through their eLives. By attending NAU you will have a wealth of knowledge at your finger tips, furthermore our experienced and intelligent staff are considered to be the best in their fields.

What does the NAU offer?
For this semester the NAU will be offering six classes along with who will be teaching them:

eHistory 101: This class will focus primarily on eUS history, however it will also focus on foreign history that relates to the eUS and any current affairs. (Desertfalcon)

eCurrent Affairs: This class will help students better understand the state of the modern eWorld, it will cover everything from current wars, alliances and international affairs.

eBusiness 101: This class wil help aspiring business get a grasp on the basics of starting owning and operating a business in the eUS. (Kyle321n)

ePolitics 101: This party will cover the eUS government including its scope size and functions, it will also cover the political systems of the eUS. (Gaius Julius)

eRepublik 101: A class the everyone is recommended to take, this class will cover various basic game mechanics as well as how to play eRep like a game. (Tiacha)

eRepublik Economics 101: This class will cover the basics of the eRepublik economic module, it will cover topics such as trade and the governments affect on the economy.

How much does it cost to register?
This semester costs absolutely nothing, due to left over gold and USD from past semesters the NAU will be able to cover all costs this month.


How do I register?
The first thing you need to do is fill out this form, once you have done that you will receive a confirmation pm from either Tiacha or I. This will include information about classes and any other steps in the process.

Im really smart and think I dont need to take classes, is there anything I can do?
Yes! NAU still needs several Professor spots filled, in addition we will be taking applications for Teaching Assistants. These TA's will assist Professors with various jobs and will teach the class when the Professor is not available.

Well folks that's about all the NAU has for now. Classes will start very soon, so get your registration forms in as soon as possible. Remember the focus of the NAU is to create a better educated eUS society. We pride ourselves on high quality classes and staff. If you have any further questions feel free to pm me! Thank you!
