Northwest University is a residential community. While we fully believe that the education that is offered here is enhanced by what is learned outside of the classroom, participating in the community and forming lasting relationships doesn’t have to happen only by living on campus. Our commuting students are an important aspect of our community as a whole, and we would not be the university we are without them! Listed below are some resources to improve the commuter experience here at Northwest!
Off-Campus/Commuter Resources
Off Campus Parental Verification Form
Off Campus Financial Comparison Worksheet
Orca Bus Pass at a Reduced Fare for Students
