Tips for Online Registration

How to Register

Students will register for classes via Self-Service. Instructions can be found in this document: Self-Service-Student-Instructions

Registration Holds

All account holds must be removed before you can register. You will know if there is a hold on your account because you will see a red stop sign. When you click on it, a message will you tell you what kind of hold you have on your account.

Here are the most common holds and how you can get them removed:

• Financial Hold: You may have a financial hold on your account due to outstanding balances on your account or other financial issues. This can ONLY be removed by Student Financial Services. You will need to email them at studentfinancialservices@northwestu.edu to resolve this issue.
• Advising Hold: You do not need to see an advisor to remove your “Advising Hold.” This is something the program coordinator completes before sending out registration information. If you find that you still have an advising hold, please contact your program coordinator.

Adding and Dropping Courses

Important Note: Once you hit Finish, you cannot easily change your courses. You have through the first week of class to make your own changes, but after that point you will need to fill out a Request Registration Change Form found on the Registrar’s Office webpage. Please DOUBLE CHECK your courses before finalizing your schedule!
