Debt retirement (for ministry graduates)

The grant is specifically for alumni who are currently in or entering full-time ministry. Applicants must have graduated in 2007 or later. Get the AG Next Generation Grant Application (pdf).

Complete your degree with Pathways

The NCU Pathways program is a degree completion program focused on students who have been away from North Central for more than 5 years. This program works with our Registrar’s office and Dean’s Council to create an efficient, highly discounted pathway toward graduation.

Free parking

Need a place to park downtown? As a courtesy to our alumni, NCU invites our alumni to park on campus during the weekends and evenings after 5:00 PM. We only ask that you call the Security office at 612.343.4445 to confirm parking availability and location.

Please note that alumni may not leave their cars on campus overnight.

Are you in transition between jobs, or thinking about making a change? Contact our Career Services department at alumni@northcentral.edu. We’ll review your résumé and cover letter, and offer basic career counseling and complete access to CareerWire, our web-based career placement assistance program.

Library access

Alumni have lifetime Guest Patron access to T. J. Jones Library. Our library is a place where alumni may continue their personal and intellectual growth throughout their lives.

Alumni communities

Want to connect with alumni in your field of expertise? Alumni have formed online communities that gather around specific disciplines or common interests. Many of these groups host events and activities that bless and connect community members. Here’s a list of Facebook groups:
