Catalog Shortcut Links

Every spring, NIU releases an updated catalog of courses and programs. In the past, this led to many broken links. Now, the web team uses go URLs to link to various catalog pages. While the URLs in the catalog change every year, the go URLs always point to the current catalog. Please use these links in your websites.

Icons

You can include a variety of icons, from Font Awesome to Glyphicons, on NIU websites.
