Next Steps / Once You Are Admitted

Learn to access MYNIU to monitor the status of your application through a final decision, and to confirm your intent to enroll on receiving an admissions offer.

  • Admitted students access MyNIU to confirm.
  • After Log In, click on "Self Service".
  • Next click on "Student Admission".
  • Then click "Accept Admission" to choose "accept or decline" of the admissions offer.
  • Click "Accept" to confirm intent to enroll at NIU.

Check the "To Do" list for any final supporting documents still required by NIU Admissions.
