For Counselors and College Access Professionals - NMU Admissions

Welcome and thank you for visiting our resource pages for counseling professionals and college access practitioners.  Whether you are providing college planning services at a middle school, high school, community college, early/middle college, or in your community, we appreciate your connection with Northern Michigan University.  I encourage you to lean on us as you support your students on their post-secondary journey.  

Helpful resources:

• Virtual Experiences at NMU
• Applying for Admission - Information about our test-free/test-blind policy - now permanent!
• See what your students are receiving from us when we meet them.
• Next Steps for admitted students.
• See how supporting our students is critical to their success.

• The NMU profile for counselors is available here.
• We have resources for your students earning early college credit.
• New academic offerings are in full swing, including controlled environment agriculture, indoor agriculture and new majors in music, theatre and dance - including a music industry major.
• We support students using Michigan's Tuition Incentive Program (TIP) - Phase 1 and Phase 2.

• Scholarships: You and your students can view scholarships offered at the time of admission.  Don't forget our Presidential Scholars Competition for your high school seniors and now including Transfer Students!  Over 200 scholarships are offered from this competition, including full-ride awards.
• Financial Hardship/Application Fee Waivers:  If you are working with a student who wishes to apply to NMU and for whom the $35 application fee would cause financial difficulty, please know we consider requests made via standard fee waiver request forms such as through NACAC or the NMU waiver form.

• Request NMU school spirit items for your classroom or office area.  We'll be happy to send some your way.
• Meet our staff and find your NMU rep.

Please consider a visit to NMU.  We'd love to have you as our guest at our summer 'camp' or personalized visit.  We hosted counselor and family summer camp experiences in July 2018 and 2019 and 2022.  We had so much fun meeting counselors and their family members and sharing our love of NMU and the Marquette area.  Kudos to those who climbed Sugarloaf Mountain or jumped off Black Rocks into Lake Superior! We are looking forward to seeing our colleagues again at the program again July 26-28, 2023.

As always, please let us know how we can strengthen our partnership to serve students.
