Jump-start Your Huskie with UNIV 301
|
|
It's never too early for your student to get a jump on developing their career. With course registration underway, encourage your Huskie to speak with their advisor about UNIV 301: Braven Leadership and Career Accelerator, a new three-credit elective course. If they have yet to take the course, they can enroll for fall 2023.
This online, weekly course is taught by leadership coaches working in a variety of industries. As mentors, they provide students with valuable feedback and insights so they are better prepared for their future after NIU.

Final Exams Schedule

Final examinations for the spring 2023 semester will take place Saturday, May 6 and Monday, May 8 through Friday, May 12. Our final exam schedule will help your Huskie prepare.
Best of luck to them, and remember our Huskie Academic Resource Center provides comprehensive resources including tutoring sessions, writing assistance and academic skills development. We also offer tips on how to stay on track.
Is your Huskie feeling the stress? They've accomplished so much already. Remind them of that and encourage them to reach out for help. We offer numerous wellness resources including five ways to reduce stress.
