Office Of Student Affairs
We support you so you can maximize your Medill experience from orientation to graduation.
Supporting your Medill experience
We are your primary resource for information on registration and degree progress as well as Medill and NU opportunities and services.
How We Can Help
Communication and orientation
Before you arrive on campus, we’ll contact you with information to help you prepare for the start of classes, and we’ll set up channels to connect you with your fellow students. At orientation, we’ll help you start off your career at Medill with a fun and informative program.
Academic advising
We will meet with you throughout the year to discuss academic progress, personal and professional goals and dreams, and your Medill experience.

Student Life staff members advise our MSJ student ambassadors, who work to continually improve the Medill student experience.
