NWU New Families Blog

The Wednesday before classes start, August 18, is a big day for new students, as well as for their parents and families. For family members who are able to join us on campus, we have several events scheduled.

As your student prepares to start their journey at NWU, encourage them to consider applying for on-campus jobs. Working on campus has numerous advantages beyond the extra income.

For parents and families, the time is now to get familiar with the resources available to your student. Students often reach out to family first when they’re struggling.

To provide the best possible health support, we require each student to submit a confidential medical history form and documentation that they are in compliance with the university’s vaccination requirements.

The Prairie Wolves Bookstore has them covered with all the tools they’ll need for success in the classroom and beyond, including new, used and digital books, as well as a robust textbook rental program and a price matching program.
