A test score doesn’t tell your story, which is why we don’t consider standardized test scores for general admissions, merit scholarships — and even for our University Honors Program. Find out what else sets us apart at our NIU Preview Day.

During this in-person event, you'll have the opportunity to explore many of our student support services during the Academic and Resource Fair, hear from the offices of Admissions and Financial Aid, meet our academic colleges, and tour our campus.
