International student services

NIC Student Services provides a wide range of services and resources to help you reach your goals. You will find that the more you access these services and seek information from these resources the better prepared you will be for your coursework and for academic success.

Our Registration team at each campus are the first people you will see when you enter the Students Services Department. Registration assistants can help you with a variety of issues including course registration, payments, accessing your student records or submitting NIC forms. Go to Registration page for more information.

Continuing students are responsible for paying the balance of fees due by 4pm the first day of classes. Any unpaid fees could result in removal from classes, locked accounts and a $300 late fee penalty. For more information about payment options please see How to Pay.

NIC students can access a wide range of employment services and opportunities, both during college and after graduation. NIC’s Student Employment Services staff can help you with all things career-related including resume writing, interview skills, and searching for work. We can connect you with businesses and organizations that are seeking new employees and share tips on how to secure your dream job.

If you are in a Work-Integrated Learning (co-op or internship) program, Student Employment Services offer added support and opportunities to help you gain workplace experience as well as make valuable connections to employers while enrolled in your academic program.

NIC Library & Learning Commons space on each campus is a hub of student support including access to writing/math support, peer tutoring, and computer labs.

Visit your campus library to access our collection of print and digital materials, meet with your group in one of the study rooms, discover writing and math resources, get your questions answered about student technologies, and learn valuable research skills you'll need to make your academic year a success.

The Library and Learning Commons is a vibrant space where students can access academic support services such as research, writing, math, peer tutoring and IT help. Flexible, collaborative and individual study spaces provide students with a rich learning environment where ideas are shared and learning is enhanced.
