Noncredit Admissions
Admission to the university is not required to enroll in a noncredit (professional or personal development) course.
There are four easy ways to register for most noncredit programs:
- Through the link provided for most courses on their individual course description pages
- By phone at (800) 345-9472 or (815) 753-0277
- By fax to (815) 753-6900
- By mail to: NIU Outreach Noncredit Services, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, IL 60115
If you wish to enroll in a credit course, you can apply to the university as either a nondegree student (undergraduate) or a student-at-large (graduate).
