Student Life

College is more than books and tests; it's an experience! We believe your experience at Northeast Iowa Community College can be the experience of a lifetime, but, as they say, “life is what you make it,” so explore your interests, make new friends, and make a difference by getting involved!

Students can develop leadership, teamwork, communication and social skills by participating in various clubs, professional organizations and honor societies. The CAT Student Lead Position gives students the opportunity to represent and promote NICC to prospective students, their families, and current students. In addition, Cougar Activities Team (CAT) serves as the representative body for the students, while also programming the extracurricular activities available for students; membership for CAT is open to all students.

NICC also offers intramural sports and fitness for all enrolled students as well as service opportunities throughout the year.
