Admitted Student Day

North Central is an exceptional place to live and learn – it’s also a place where you’re empowered by distinctive programs, unique experiences and endless opportunities to push past what you thought was possible. Our Cardinal community will provide the resources and support you need to build a successful future.

We invite you to come as you are, and we’re committed to helping you become all that you want to be. Attend an Admitted Student Day to experience the Cardinal difference first-hand. We’ll show you all the ways you’ll achieve, explore and grow – but most importantly, the reasons why you belong.
