Registry Office
Welcome to the NWOSU Registry Office
The Registry Office, located on the first floor of Herod Hall, provides a variety of services: enrollment of classes, degree audits, official transcripts, etc. This office is the custodian of all student academic records for all three campuses including all applications for admission to the university.
Requests for official and unofficial academic transcripts also are processed through this office. Students who have been at Northwestern since Fall 2019 can print unofficial transcripts from Self-Service.
If you need to request a degree audit, two forms are available online: Degree Audit – Teaching – Request Form and Degree Audit – Non-Teaching – Request Form.
If you’d like to view your student demographic information, you must be logged into Self-Service. If you need to make a change to your demographic information, please contact the Registry Office at (580) 327-8552 or kdpenner@nwosu.edu.

A transfer student applicant who has attended other colleges or universities also is required to submit an Application for Admission, and a complete official transcript from each institution previously attended. Depending on the number of hours transferred to Northwestern, a complete high school transcript and ACT/SAT scores also may be required. To be considered official, college transcripts may be submitted by the student in person or by mail. The Registry office also will accept transcripts sent electronically as official if they are sent via email to Sheri Lahr or Teri Warren directly from the issuing institution or the institution’s third party company (E-Script, Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, etc.). These transcripts must be on file in the Northwestern Registry Office on the Alva campus.
