ORIENTATION AND REGISTRATION

Enrolling in classes and participating in orientation are important steps to beginning your student experience at Northwest. There are several options to fit your needs, including both on-campus and virtual content. Either way, you will work with an advisor to enroll and learn about campus resources and services to set you up for a successful transfer.

Steps to get started:

1. Visit nwmissouri.edu/admissions/fye/index. to view your options to enroll in classes and participate in orientation. 2. Navigate to the Orientation tab in CatPAWS to complete the advising intake questions and select an orientation option. 3. Watch your email for more information about enrolling in classes and orientation. Just prior to transferring in the fall and spring, Northwest offers Advantage and Winter Welcome extended orientation programming. You will receive more information by email about these programs closer to the start of the semester. Transfer students are not required to attend, but it’s a great opportunity to meet people, get acclimated to your new home and take care of campus business.

PET FRIENDLY HOUSING
