Providing excellent customer service and visitor relations is a mission of the Office of Admissions and the Northern Ambassadors. We strive to provide a custom visit for each group, and we will work with you to make sure your visit to campus is a memorable one.
We ask that you please read and agree to the terms below in order to submit your request:

  • The more notice that the Office of Admissions has to plan your visit, the more likely that events/activities will be possible. We ask for at least three weeks' notice for group visits.
  • Sponsors must actively engage in sessions and supervise students at all times.
  • Notify the Office of Admissions if you need to cancel, modify, or will be late for your campus visit. We ask for 72 hours' notice to cancel your visit (excluding weather related/unavoidable issues.)
  • The lead chaperone will have a cell phone available during the visit, and has provided that number to the Office of Admissions.
  • The lead chaperone will express the following "student guidelines" to students:
    • Visitors are expected to conduct themselves in a courteous and respectful manner towards each other, Northern Illinois University staff and students, and University property.
    • Visitors will use a voice level that is appropriate while inside campus buildings.
    • Visitors will not leave the group or chaperone at any time during the visit.
    • Visitors will not use electronic devices during tours, presentations, or sessions.
    • Visitors / Groups that are deemed unruly or unmanageable by Northern Illinois University staff will be asked to change their behavior. If the visitor/group continues to be unruly or unmanageable, the presentation, tour, or entire visit will end.

* I have read, understand, and agree to the terms listed above. Further, I will inform fellow chaperones of these terms, and express the above "student guidelines" to the student visitors.

* I understand that Northern Illinois University requests this information for the purpose of mailing, emailing, and calling you with information and to create a record of your interest. No persons outside the university are provided this information.
