Next Steps for Accepted Students

Step 1: Review your Acceptance Packet Materials

- Ways to make your payment include:
- flywire for payments made with international credit cards

Step 3: Sign-up for Health Insurance
If you are in F-1 status, purchase health insurance through GeoBlue. This plan is designed for and open to all F-1 international students enrolled at North Central College. You can purchase insurance for all months you will be in the U.S. using this link.
