Intersession is considered part of Northwest’s spring semester in relation to student billing, credit hours, financial assistance and academic standing.

If a student enrolls in three credit hours during the intersession and nine during the spring 2021 semester, that student will attain full-time enrollment (12 hours).

If a student enrolls in three credit hours during intersession and then plans to enroll in 18 hours during the spring semester, a petition for excess credit is needed. Enrollment is capped at 18 total credit hours.

Students interested in enrolling in a course that is closed should complete an add form, which is available on the Registrar’s website at www.nwmissouri.edu/registrar/forms.htm.

Financial aid is awarded and processed based on overall spring semester enrollment.

Students should consult the Office of Scholarships and Financial Assistance when making decisions related to dropping courses or withdrawing.

Students completing degree requirements during the intersession will be considered a spring graduate. The degree will be awarded at the end of the spring semester.

The last date to drop or withdrawal from an intersession course is Monday, Jan. 4.

Students enrolled in more than one class for the spring semester can drop through CatPAWS.

Students enrolled in an intersession course only must email the Student Success Center (studentsuccess@nwmissouri.edu) to request a withdrawal during the winter break. The withdrawal will be processed when Northwest offices reopens on Monday, Jan. 4, using the date of the email request as the withdrawal date.

Academic standing will not be recalculated until the end of the spring semester. Degree Audit and CatPAWS will not reflect correct academic standing once the intersession grade is rolled.

Degree Audit shows no academic standing. CatPAWS indicates no academic standing is calculated but remains as it was at the end of the fall semester.

Suspensions will not change as a result of completing intersession courses. Courses can be used to complete the 24 hours required for athletes.

Students are eligible for student employment when they are enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours during a semester. Any enrolled student may work up to a maximum of 20 hours per week.

SmartThinking will be available via Northwest Online along with a list of online resources students may visit for academic support assistance while the University is closed for winter break.
