Student Support

From freshman orientation to graduation day, the Center for Student Success offers a range of programs that help students achieve their academic, personal, and professional goals. 

When you’re feeling unwell, it’s good to know that compassionate help is close at hand. Dyson’s staff of on-campus health care professionals are here to provide confidential medical and counseling services, including free appointments, common prescriptions, medical tests, and therapy sessions. 

The Center for Career and Professional Development supports and empowers students in the exploration, preparation, and pursuit of their chosen career. Their dedicated staff members guide students through everything from building a resume to acing their interview, both in undergrad and beyond. 

For millions of families, college is a first. But educating first-generation students isn’t a first for North Central. With nearly 40% of students identifying as first-generation, North Central is a nationally recognized leader in equipping these trailblazing students for success in college. Here, first-generation status is a point of pride among our students, faculty and staff. 

The Premier Scholars Program, also known as "Premier," serves a diverse group of incoming first-year students. As a Premier Scholar, you’ll get to create incredible memories and build lasting friendships. Through the program you will engage with the campus through a sample psychology class, campus partner workshops, and have an assigned Premier Team Leader mentor, who will support you throughout your first year at North Central! 

As a partner college with TheDream.US, North Central stands committed to supporting the dreams and ambitions of undocumented students. Through this partnership, the College provides ongoing support to address the emotional, lifestyle and financial challenges of college and get DREAMers to the graduation stage.

International Student Services and Engagement (ISSE) supports, advocates and designs experiences for international students from admittance through graduation. We provide students with personal and professional development opportunities outside the classroom. 

Mapping your academic journey at North Central doesn't have to feel overwhelming. Your assigned Success Coach will help you select your classes and keep you on track to meet the requirements of your program. Our coaches will help you craft a class schedule that balances your academic needs, extracurricular interests and professional goals.

Staffed by your fellow students, the Writing Center is an excellent resource for writers at all levels to hone their essays, research papers, cover letters, and more. Consultations are free and offered in-person or online. Tutorials can happen at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming a topic to final revision. 

The Math Resource Center offers thoughtful support for problem solving, calculus, and many other topics across STEM classes. We’re open afternoons throughout each term to work with you on any math questions you may have.
