Visiting Students

Home for the summer? Take a class at NIU!

NIU offers classes at its main campus in DeKalb and at locations throughout the suburbs, including Elgin, Hoffman Estates, Naperville and Rockford.

Students who wish to take summer classes at NIU as visiting students must submit an undergraduate application and application fee. Although transcripts are not required for admission as a visiting student, enrollment in specific courses may require the submission of official transcripts to the college advising office to determine if prerequisite requirements for the course have been met.* Visiting students are not eligible for federal or state financial aid.
