The American Indian Student Center, staffed by the American Indian Student Advisor, provides primary and supplemental advising and academic support services to American Indian students. Services offered generally mirror the services provided in Advising Services, which include:

• Educational Planning – assistance in creating your educational path and preparing an efficient transfer plan to continue your education after leaving NIC.
• Reading and Interpreting “My Progress” in Student Planning - “My Progress” in Student Planning is a powerful tool for determining requirements that you have already satisfied and for selecting courses that count toward your intended program. “My Progress” can also be used to determine your graduation timeline!
• Assistance with Program Selection – help in investigating the opportunities, fit, and requirements of NIC program offerings.
• Registration Problem-Solving – addressing common registration issues, understand registration restrictions, and troubleshoot finding a seat in a closed class necessary for program progression. Advisors can also help you explore course options, make changes to your schedule, review registration holds, and assist with planning and preparing for advising and registration.
• Academic Difficulty – reviewing past academic performance and identifying the skills and resources necessary to achieve your educational goals. Connections can also be made with academic and specialized campus services.
• Navigating NIC - guidance in understanding processes associated with financial aid, academic appeals, and paperwork that may be required by your respective tribal funding rules. 

The center also serves as a place of contact for students who wish to participate in the American Indian Student Alliance club.
