  • Making a credit card payment online on this Web site. If paying online, e-mail any changes or corrections to orientation@niu.edu; or
  • Returning the reservation form you received (or will receive) with payment by cash, check, or money order payable to NIU in the yellow envelope that was enclosed.  If you choose this option, be certain to allow enough time for postal delivery.  If payment is received after your tentative or requested date has filled, the next available date will be assigned.

You will receive a postcard, or be contacted by this office, for confirmation of your date. Do not attend orientation unless your reservation has been confirmed. If you have paid online or sent in payment and still have not received a confirmation, please call us at (815) 753-1535 or e-mail us at orientation@niu.edu.
