  • November 21, 2008 critical updates re: NWC PSEO: 

    • ONLINE Registration changes: This notice has been sent out to current students: Northwestern College is changing the registration procedure for Spring 2009.  Students will register ONLINE for courses instead of submitting registrations by mail.  An email detailing their new procedure was sent to students who had enrolled in PSEO classes through NWC during Fall of 2008.  Parents and students are encouraged to carefully follow the instructions given in that email to be sure students are correctly registered for classes for Spring.  If you have any questions about the NWC registration procedure, contact the distance education office at NWC directly at contact information above. (NOTE: this email was sent to the student's NWC email address only.  Due to student privacy policies, it cannot be given out to parents of PSEO students.)

    • NWC Distance Ed office location changes:  This past week, the Distance Ed office has moved for the 2nd time in the past few months.  They are no longer in the KTIS building but have moved about two blocks south in a building that to date says "Edina Realty" on it.  They are on the 2nd floor (although the directory places NWC on the 3rd floor).  If you have questions or concerns, please contact them at above contact information.
