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 January 17, 2023 for the Spring 2023 semester.

A waitlist is an electronic list of students who would like to enroll in a closed class. Waitlisting does not guarantee enrollment into any class and not all classes have waitlists.
Continuing students may contact their advisor for the Alternate PIN to enroll through CatPAWS.
All students may request an electronic copy of the graduate registration form and return the completed form to the Graduate Office no later than two weeks before your class begins. This method is not recommended without advisor consultation.
All students can complete registration on paper with their advisor and deliver this paperwork to the Graduate Office and then to the Registrar's Office.
Registration is also available through Northwest-Kansas City
A full-time graduate student is one who takes six or more graduate hours in a semester. A maximum of 16 hours is allowed in a semester, with no more than seven hours in a four-week summer session. Workshop credits are counted in the academic load. (For financial aid purposes, a student must take three hours during a semester to be considered a half-time student.)
Please contact Textbook Services at 660-562-1150 for 500-level or undergraduate courses to determine textbook availability. All textbooks for 600 level courses must be purchased elsewhere.
The Graduate Office, located in the west wing on the second floor of the Administration Building, is open from 8 am - 5 pm, Monday through Friday and can be contacted at 660-562-1145 of gradsch@nwmissouri.edu
