NIU Alumni Association offering grants.
Every NIU office, student organization and program creates value through their impressive work and impact, and the NIU Alumni Association (NIUAA) recognizes that.
The NIU Alumni Association recently was awarded a grant that will help showcase NIU’s important work to the community, and we invite all student organizations, divisions, centers and groups to apply.
Through this grant, you’ll have the chance to extend your reach exponentially in September.
The NIUAA is offering the opportunity for NIU programs to secure tent space (including table and chairs) in Mission’s Grove prior to our Sept. 23 football game against Tulsa (time TBD). Mission’s Grove made its debut last year, and it was quite popular among our alumni, family and friends as we averaged over 300 people per game in our inaugural season.
The NIUAA wants these same people (and more) to engage with your group directly so you can spread the word of your group, division or center. Those interested in participating must complete the application by Aug. 15, 2023. Decisions announced by the week of Aug. 28.
Don’t miss out on your chance to participate. Questions? Connect with NIUAA assistant director Eric Glasby, ’15, M.S.Ed. ’18 at 815-753-1677 or eglasby1@niu.edu.
Have you purchased your parking permit?
Parking permits for the next academic year (2023-2024) are now available online. Parking permits are virtual, so you will not receive a physical permit. Your license plate will act as your parking permit.
Our Customer Parking Portal provides convenient access to your parking account information. You can view your account, purchase a parking permit, make a ticket payment and update vehicle information.
A free parking option is also available. Those who take advantage of this option have a virtual green permit which allows for remote parking in Lot K on the west side of campus, just off Lincoln Highway.
For those only needing temporary parking, there are short-term parking options available. Short-term permits can be purchased online, and options include daily, weekly and monthly permits. Short-term parking is also available at pay stations and via the AMP Park mobile app.
You can visit our website for additional information. If you have any questions, please contact Parking Services at 815-753-1045 or parking@niu.edu.
Parking lot changes for 2023-2024
Parking Services is making parking lot designation changes this summer after assessing utilization surveys from this past academic year. Since parking demand has changed due to remote working patterns and hybrid/online courses, these lot designation changes are anticipated to improve utilization and convenience for all parking patrons. Visit our website to view these changes.
