I am happy to answer your questions about applying to Northern Illinois University, transfer admissions criteria, transfer credit, limited admissions programs and undergraduate majors. It is never too early to plan your successful transition to NIU. I look forward to assisting you in my office (Williston Hall 340), by phone (815-753-0446), or via e-mail.

A transfer student myself, I attended Kishwaukee College after high school. I later completed my A.A. degree at Harper College. Those experiences prepared me well to complete two degrees at NIU. I am also a lifelong resident of DeKalb/Sycamore. Feel free to inquire about the DeKalb area and NIU in general.

The community colleges I visit are: Harper, Joliet, Lake County, Sauk Valley, Highland, Oakton, Black Hawk, Morton, and Parkland.  Bring your questions to the NIU table when I’m at your school. Your counseling center will have the dates.

Transfer Center Mission Statement: The Northern Illinois University Transfer Center strives to provide outstanding service in a professional and friendly manner.  We serve our students, community college colleagues and the NIU community in a team-oriented environment that is first and foremost student-centered.
