Navigate
NIU Navigate connects students, advisors and services to promote academic planning and success. It has uses for both students and faculty/staff members.
Navigate is offered as part of NIU's membership in the Educational Advisory Board's Student Success Collaborative, which aims to improve student success, retention and graduation rates on college campuses.
Navigate Student Planner
NIU is pleased to announce a new tool for you to plan your courses for next semester, Navigate Student Planner.
- Planner is an alternative to MyNIU's shopping cart.
- By planning your courses in Navigate Student, you will not have to use MyNIU's shopping cart.
Navigate Planner Resources
- Step 1: Search for and plan classes in Navigate Student Planner (video).
- Step 2: Create a class schedule for next semester (video).
- Step 3: Register for classes in Navigate Student Planner (video).
- Instructions for using Planner (PDF).
Note: Because this is a new system for NIU, unforeseen issues could occur in which the system does not function as expected. If you find this to be the case, you still can use MyNIU to search for the courses you planned in Navigate and register.
Any courses you planned in Navigate, but registered for in MyNIU, will show as registered in Navigate the next day.
