Welcome to the NU Family!
Let's Go Purple Eagles!
Getting a child admitted to college is no small feat. At NU, we understand that when a child is accepted into a university and moves towards earning a degree, it is as much a celebration of the parents as it is of the student. The decision of which school to attend has a significant impact on the family, as well. When you choose NU, the whole family is welcomed into the Purple Eagle community. We encourage you to come cheer on our Division I sports teams, to attend parent or sibling weekends, and stay up-to-date on all the latest Niagara University news. Welcome to the family!
Partner in Your Child's Future
While your child is learning and thriving at NU, you're a continued partner in their success. From filling out an application to being handed a diploma, we know you'll be right there as a guiding light in their college journey.
