Tools and Resources

NIU employees are guided by many policies and procedures. Whatever your role at the university, we're here to help you understand the guidelines that apply to you.

Forms and Documents

We've gathered forms and documents into one place to make it easy to find the resource you need. You'll find documents related to insurance, time off, retirement plans, tuition waivers, the hiring process, payroll and more.

Policies

The NIU Policy Library is the official website for university policies. We've compiled lists of policies of interest to employees, including general campus policies and those related to the hiring process, benefits, payroll and other areas.
