Hi Bearcat!
We offer SOAR and Advantage to help you acclimate to the Northwest campus before the fall or summer semester begins. We look forward to seeing you on campus!
Orientation is a one-day introduction to campus in spring or summer. Enrolling in classes and participating in orientation are important steps to beginning your student experience at Northwest. You will be able to work with an advisor to enroll and learn about campus resources and services to set you up for a successful start.
Please register for orientation. Transfer/returning student orientation for the fall or summer semester start will open March 1.
