All new transfer students attend the one-day orientation program. During the program, you'll be introduced to numerous academic opportunities and support services. You'll also meet your advisor and register for classes.

You'll be allowed to attend only the orientation programs that are available to you via the MyNIU system. Advising for some majors and colleges is not available for all programs. Orientation programs do fill quickly and space is limited—so register today! Please note, we do not have a waitlist for orientation programs.

If you've changed your major since you've applied to NIU, please make sure you fill out a change your major form. After you submit your form, you'll receive confirmation of this change within 48 hours.

Please note: Depending on your orientation date, you may not be able to register for classes at your orientation program. Make sure to check your enrollment appointment in your MyNIU student center.
