Student Resources

We provide resources and services to support and guide you throughout your time at NIU.

Our extensive facilities include computer labs, smart classrooms and plentiful studio space to help unleash your creativity. Studio spaces can be found in Jack Arends Hall and other locations both on and off campus.

The Visual Resource Center, also located in Jack Arends Hall, offers software, research support and more to students enrolled in art and design classes.

We also offer financial support in the form of scholarships to incoming first-year and transfer students, as well as students continuing in our programs.

If you’re transferring to NIU from another college or university, learn more about support for transfer students.
