Northwest offers a self enrollment system for preregistration through 'CatPAWS. Midterm grades, final grades and academic history records (transcripts) are also available on 'CatPAWS.
If for any reason students cannot use the web-based system, they can enroll or adjust schedules in the Registrar's office with signed pre-enrollment forms or drop/add forms.
Enrollment begins with the initial time and continues through the first day of the appropriate summer session.

Students may register on any of the above dates for a class beginning that day. Registration begins in the Admissions Office on the second floor of the Administration Building. Students will obtain enrollment materials and proceed to the appropriate academic departmental office to see an advisor for enrollment approval signatures. Once the advisor's signature is obtained, students return to the Graduate Office (if graduate) and the Registrar's Office to register for classes. Undergraduate students will take their class schedule to Textbook Services to obtain books.
Mail-in registration is available to all graduate students. A Graduate Mail-in registration packet may be obtained by calling the Graduate Office at (660) 562-1144. Graduate mail-in registration forms must be returned to the Graduate Office no later than two weeks prior to the beginning of the class. Bills are mailed around the 25th of the month and will be due the following 15th. Students will be responsible for consulting with their program director to determine courses to be taken. This mail-in process is not recommended without consultation with the appropriate program director.
Graduate students are encouraged to use the graduate mail-in, online registration or register prior to the beginning of the trimester. If you are unable to utilize one of these options, the Registrar or Graduate Office should be contacted for assistance. Registrations for online (web) courses MUST be completed at least two weeks prior to the first day of class. This will assure computer access by the first day of class.
