Welcome to the NIU Division of Student Affairs Web site. Our goal is to make this a rich resource that is highly accessible for students, parents, colleagues, and others. We update it frequently to keep all of our audiences well informed.
The Division of Student Affairs is comprised of five Communities of Practice that include Diversity & Equity, Planning & Operations, Student Health & Wellness, Student Life, and Student Services. The professionals who comprise these communities are serious about the work that they do for students. The eighteen departments within the Division of Student Affairs provide student services, programs, and facilities in areas of academic support, student organizations, multicultural education and support, and leadership development. Student advocacy and service are our business, and we are privileged to be an important part of the Huskie tradition.
Please peruse our site and contact any of our departments for assistance or guidance. Feel free to download any of the documents made available for your reference. Thank you for visiting the Division of Student Affairs website and for referring others to it. We are proud to serve our students from Orientation to Graduation.
Forward, Together Forward!
