Freshman Connection at Northwestern Oklahoma State University is designated as the official start to freshman enrollment for first-time freshmen. This event is set for Wednesday, April 16, at the Alva campus. As a convenience, morning and afternoon sessions are available to accommodate student schedules.

Morning registration begins at 8:30 in the Student Center with a welcome and enrollment following. The afternoon session starts at 1:30 with the same schedule as the morning. Both sessions will offer an optional parent panel that will give parents the opportunity to have all of their questions answered by Northwestern administration and staff members.

Matt Adair, Northwestern assistant dean of student affairs and recruitment, said this event is open to all high school seniors who are ready to plan their fall schedules. Faculty and staff members will be available to provide academic advisement, answer questions and welcome new Rangers to campus.

Students must first meet admission and curriculum requirements to enroll during Freshman Connection. Requirements include having an ACT score of 17 or using an overall GPA instead. For students who do not have an appropriate ACT/SAT score or GPA for admittance, please call (580) 327-8546. Additional admission information is available at www.nwosu.edu/apply-for-admission/incoming-freshmen.
