Our Campus Visit Days are the perfect introduction to North Central. Meet current students, staff, and professors who will answer your questions about opportunities at NCC and next steps. You will receive a guided walking tour where we will show you as much of campus as possible during the time we have together. We want you to leave feeling inspired and excited to continue your college search, regardless of whether it leads you to North Central. If you’re seeking a more personalized look at NCC, we recommend the applied individual visit or prospect small group visit.
Here, you can review all the information covered in your last visit day, including majors and programs, financial aid and scholarships, and next steps on your path to becoming a Cardinal. You can also share your thoughts and feedback that will shape future visit days!
North Central is an exceptional place to live and learn — it’s also a place where you’re empowered by distinctive programs, unique experiences and endless opportunities to push past what you thought was possible. Our Cardinal community will provide the resources and support you need to build a successful future.
We invite you to come as you are, and we’re committed to helping you become all that you want to be. Attend an Admitted Student Day to experience the Cardinal difference firsthand. We’ll show you all the ways you’ll achieve, explore and grow here at North Central.
