Spring 2008 Registration & Verification

Self-Enrollment System for Preregistration

Northwest offers a self enrollment system for preregistration through 'CatPAWS. Midterm grades, final grades and academic history records (transcripts) are also available on 'CatPAWS.

Enrollment begins with the initial time and continues through January 20.
