On March 12, 2020, the NCAA canceled all remaining championships for the 2019-2020 season due to the Covid-19 pandemic, effectively ending the college gymnastics season.

On March 13, 2020, Nichols and senior classmates Jade Degouveia and Bre Showers released a statement calling their four years at Oklahoma "a dream come true" and stating that they are "content in knowing we poured our hearts and souls into this season and sport" despite being "completely devastated" by the premature end of the season.

On March 24, 2020, Nichols was named a First Team All-American in the all-around and in all four events. Nichols was also named to the All-Big 12 team in the all-around and in all four events and was named the Big 12 Gymnast of the Year for the second time in her career. In April Nichols was awarded the AAI Award, becoming the first recipient from Oklahoma.

In a column published March 27, 2020, Nichols stated that she would work as a student coach for the Sooners while completing her degree and also indicated interest in sports broadcasting and writing a book.

At the 2019 NCAA Championships Nichols made her return to the all-around, where she won the all-around with a score of 39.7125, beating Ross of UCLA and Lexy Ramler of Minnesota. She additionally was co-champion on the vault alongside Ross, Kennedi Edney of LSU, and Derrian Gobourne of Auburn and placed second on uneven bars behind Sarah Finnegan of LSU. The following day Nichols helped Oklahoma win the team title and finish the season undefeated.

On May 7 it was announced that Nichols would be awarded the Honda Sports Award for gymnastics for 2019, becoming the third Sooner to receive the award after softball player Keilani Ricketts and fellow gymnast Kelly Garrison. She beat out finalists Brenna Dowell, Sarah Finnegan, and Kyla Ross. On May 15 Nichols was awarded the Wilma Rudolph Student-Athlete Achievement Award.

On December 13, 2018, it was announced that Nichols would receive the 2019 NCAA Inspiration Award for coming forward as "Athlete A" (the first to report former USA Gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar to USA Gymnastics) and publicly addressing the sexual abuse she endured. She was one of two recipients for 2019, alongside current NFL player Shaquem Griffin, who starred at UCF despite having only one hand.

In January 2018, Nichols came forward as one of the many victims sexually abused by former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, starting when she was 15. Additionally Nichols revealed that it was her coach who initially reported Nassar and his abuse to the USA Gymnastics staff:

On May 16, 2018, it was announced that Nichols and the other survivors would be awarded the Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

Nichols competed at the 2016 American Cup on March 5, scoring 59.699 to place second behind Douglas. Afterward, U.S. national team coordinator Márta Károlyi said, "Maggie showed again that I can rely on her."

A month later, Nichols tore her meniscus while training her Amanar vault and had to withdraw from the 2016 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships in Seattle. She underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and was out of competition for two months.

A few days after the conclusion of the Olympic Trials on July 13, 2016, Nichols announced her retirement from elite gymnastics via Instagram and interview, and said she was taking time to rest before starting her NCAA career at the University of Oklahoma in August.

In the 2016–2017 season, as a freshman majoring in health and exercise science, she made the competitive lineup on all four events and scored at least one perfect 10 on each. As of Week 5, she led the NCAA standings in all four events and the all-around. She finished the regular season in first place in the all-around, ahead of Utah's MyKayla Skinner; second on vault, behind Ashleigh Gnat of LSU; second on uneven bars, behind Kyla Ross of UCLA; tied for second on balance beam with Oklahoma teammate Chayse Capps, behind UCLA's Katelyn Ohashi; and tied for first on floor exercise with Skinner. At the 2017 NCAA Championships, she had a surprising fall on balance beam, her first major mistake of the entire season, missing out on the all-around podium despite being favored to win. However, she performed well on the other events, including uneven bars, where she finished first in a six-way tie. She also helped Oklahoma qualify to the Super Six. In the Super Six final, Nichols scored a ten on balance beam – the same event that she fell on the day before – en route to Oklahoma's victory in the finals, defending their national title. This also ensured Oklahoma's first ever undefeated season in program history.

Nichols graduated from Roseville Area High School in 2016.

Previously, Nichols represented the United States in international competitions, including the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, where she won a gold medal with the American team and an individual bronze medal on floor exercise. At the USA Gymnastics National Championships, she was the bronze medalist in the all-around and on uneven bars and floor exercise in 2014 and the silver medalist in the all-around in 2015. Before a knee injury in early 2016, she was a contender for the U.S. women's gymnastics team at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

The following month, Nichols competed at the 2015 U.S. National Championships in Indianapolis. On the first night of competition, she led for the first three rotations, scoring 15.80 for her Amanar vault, 14.95 on uneven bars, and 14.40 on balance beam, where she debuted several new skills, including a tucked Barani and a switch ring leap, and dismounted with a full-twisting double tuck. However, she incurred a one-tenth deduction for exceeding the time limit for balance beam routines. She also scored 14.55 on floor. Her all-around total for the night was 59.700, 1.400 points behind Biles.

At the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, Nichols competed on vault, balance beam, and floor exercise in the preliminary round. During the team final, she competed on all four events, contributing an all-around total of 59.232 toward the U.S. women's gold-medal finish. She also qualified for the floor event final where she earned a bronze medal.

Nichols committed to the Oklahoma Sooners women's gymnastics team in 2015 with a full athletic scholarship.

Nichols helped the United States finish first at the Pan American Gymnastics Championships in Mississauga, Canada, and placed third in the all-around competition with a score of 55.500. However, she dislocated her kneecap on floor exercise during the team final and withdrew from the selection camp for the 2014 World Championships team.

In June, she returned to competition at the National Championships. She performed only on the uneven bars and balance beam, finishing 13th and 10th, respectively, and advanced to the Olympic Trials in July. There, she finished sixth in the all-around, fifth on vault, ninth on uneven bars, eighth on balance beam, and fourth on floor exercise. She was not chosen for the Olympic team or as an alternate athlete. Károlyi explained that she was not chosen even as an alternate because while she had performed well at the Trials, her score was not in the top 3 on any event which made her of no possible benefit in a team final format.

She went on to place third in the all-around and on floor exercise at the U.S. Classic, as well as fifth on uneven bars and seventh on balance beam. At the National Championships in August, she placed third in the all-around behind reigning world all-around champion Simone Biles and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Kyla Ross. She also placed third on uneven bars and floor exercise and fourth on balance beam.

On July 25, she competed at the U.S. Classic and finished third in the all-around, behind Biles, the now two-time reigning world all-around champion, and 2012 Olympic all-around champion Gabby Douglas. She debuted her Amanar vault, scoring 15.80, and finished fifth on uneven bars and balance beam with scores of 14.95 and 14.45, respectively. She also placed third on floor exercise with a 14.80, for a total all-around score of 60.000.
