General FAQ


I finished the Badge Challenge Event. When will I receive my Badge?

All badges will be sent out 2-3 days after the event finishes.

How will I get my badge and what format will it be in?

Do I need to be an NEIU student to sign up for an event?

Not at all! We welcome all students, staff and faculty from any college, university or high school to attend. We also welcome anyone from the community who wishes to sharpen their skills.
