Are you thinking about starting college but dreading the process? Maybe you’ve been meaning to apply but keep putting it off because you aren’t sure where to start. We get it—between the application, the financial aid forms, and choosing classes, the process can feel overwhelming.
That’s why North Iowa Area Community College is making it easier than ever to get started.
Mark your calendars for Monday, December 15, 2025. We are hosting an Instant Enrollment Day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and you are invited!
Why Should You Attend?
Think of this as your “One-Stop Shop” for college. Instead of making multiple trips to campus or playing phone tag with different departments, you can walk in with a goal and walk out with a schedule. Whether you are a brand-new student, a transfer student, or someone looking to pick up a few extra credits, this day is designed for you.
Here is exactly what you can cross off your to-do list in a single visit:
- Apply for Admission: We will have staff on hand to help you fill out your application right then and there.
- Financial Aid Help: The FAFSA can be tricky. Our financial aid experts will be available to answer your questions and help you figure out your funding options.
- Academic Advising: Not sure which classes to take? You’ll get to sit down with an advisor who can help you map out a pathway that fits your career goals.
- Register for Spring Classes: Best of all, you will leave with your class schedule in hand, ready to start the semester in January.
What to Bring
To make your day go as smoothly as possible, try to bring the following with you:
- A valid photo ID.
- Your official high school or college transcripts (if you have them).
- Your 2024 tax information (if you plan on filing your FAFSA with us).
No Appointment Needed!
You don’t need to call ahead or book a slot. Just stop by NIACC Admissions (head toward the Pierce Administration Building) between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Don’t let the stress of “getting ready” for college ruin your holiday break. Come see us on December 15th, get everything handled in a few hours, and spend the rest of the holiday season knowing you’re officially a NIACC Trojan!
