Biking

At North Central College there are many ways to "Go Green" while getting where you need to go. We offer ample bike racks available near the majority of campus buildings and an expansive system of sidewalks and side streets.

Registering Your Personal Bike

Although bicycle registration is not mandatory, the Department of Campus Safety strongly encourages both students and faculty/staff members to register their bicycles for an added degree of security and theft prevention.  You may choose not to register your personal bike with Campus Safety; however, for a bike to be parked on campus during the summer, all personal bikes must be registered. Fill out this form and return it to the Campus Safety Office to receive your registration tag.
