While it can be a challenge to prepare to go back to school, registering for online courses at Northwestern College is a simple process. Graduate School students may register beginning on the first day registration opens for the on-campus students at Northwestern. The academic calendar also shows the dates for the upcoming terms.
The first step is to log into your MyNorthwestern account and choose “Registration” under the “Academics” tab. In the middle of the page, click the hyperlink that says “Add/Drop Courses” and check that the correct session and year is listed in the Term dropdown box.
Graduate students will also want to ensure “Graduate Program” is listed in the Student Program and Program dropdown boxes. Make sure you agree to the terms of the Registration Agreement.
Next, students can add the courses they want to register for by entering the appropriate course code. For example, enter EDU525-01 for section 01 of Advanced Child Development.
If you have any questions, contact your academic advisor or the registrar’s office ( registrar@nwciowa.edu).

People often tell me “I always wanted to get my degree, but that’s a long time in school.” My response is always the same: That time is going to pass you by anyway. Would you rather be two years older, with the degree you always wanted, qualified for the kind of job you always wanted, or would you rather be two years older and still be saying “I always wanted to get my degree….”?
Education has never been so accessible. You no longer have to commute to school, take night classes, figure out daycare and try to rearrange your work schedule in order to earn your degree. Many colleges offer online or hybrid programs that work with your schedule. I’m not suggesting those programs are easy, but that they can fit into your life. If you want to earn a degree you can, without disrupting your family or your job.
Your career is absolutely something that is within your power to control. Don’t let two years be the barrier that prevents you from work you will enjoy for the rest of your life. Two years are going to pass you by anyway. Invest them in yourself.
