Steps after Acceptance

Recommended completion date: April 1st

All students must complete a form indicating their plans for housing during the semester.  This includes applying to live in the dorms, campus apartments, or off-campus as a commuter.  Housing application forms are available online. You will need your student username and password in order to apply for housing. This information is sent on a postcard that is enclosed in your acceptance letter. If you lost or forgot your login info, feel free to contact your Admissions Counselor. In order to view a description of the various dorms and more information on housing, please refer to the below “Housing Information Packet.”

All housing is assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis so we recommend that you apply for housing right after you are accepted. You must submit a $200 housing security deposit in order for your application to be submitted. This deposit will be refunded at the end of your time in the residence halls if there is no damage to your rooms. If you decide to attend a different college and cancel with us by the end of July, then your deposit will be returned to you in full.

Recommended completion date: June 15th

Your registration packet will include your NCU username and password.  Using this information, log in to the Unet system to register for the classes you would like to take. Class registration for new students will open in either April or May depending on your class standing. You don’t need to wait until an NSR Day to register for classes. We actually suggest that you complete your registration prior to an NSR Day and then just verify your schedule while you are here on campus.

Recommended completion date: July 15th

Students who would like to request any of NCU's parking options must complete the parking application process.  We have the following parking options and all must be applied for: On-Campus, Commuter, Elliot East, Mensing, and street parking.  More information about parking policies and current permit prices can be found on the Security Office resources page.  

Recommended completion date: July 31

Even though you can be accepted to NCU based on a partial high school or college transcript, we need your school to send us a final, official transcript after you complete your last semester of classes. A final transcript must meet the following requirements:

• Be officially sealed and mailed directly from the school
• Include a graduation date (not just a month, but an actual date)
• Include a final GPA
• List all courses and grades

If you plan to work during college, you can either work on campus or off campus. For on campus jobs, certain positions are designated as “Work Study” which means you must qualify for the work study program and other positions are open to anyone. Regardless of your work study eligibility, you must apply for the jobs by either contacting offices directly or searching for job opportunities on our Career Wire site. The offices who employ the most student workers are Housekeeping and Food Services, so they are always good places to search for work. Keep in mind, off campus jobs might pay better depending on your experience so you should consider that option as well. You can view a listing of off-campus openings on the below Career Wire site as well.
