How do I get started?

NSU Admissions is the department on campus that schedules tours of the campus, online admissions, and answers general questions about applying to Northwestern State University.

How do I apply to NSU and establish an admission account?

The Office of Admissions has prepared an outline for the Steps to Admission.

Follow the "Online Admissions" link at NSU Admissions to establish your admissions account.  You can create your account, apply to NSU, and review your activity as it relates to your admission.

This account is only for admission, and once you are accepted, does not apply to registration, financial aid, or other on-campus activities.

The Admissions Office has also prepared a website featuring Projected Tuition and Fees for Fall 2009.

What about Financial Aid?

The NSU Financial Aid Office web site answers many questions about the financial aid process, what types of financial aid are available, and how to apply for financial aid.

If I am a full-time law enforcement officer, do I quality for fee exemption?

Law enforcement officers who are employed full-time in a criminal justice agency are eligible for a fee exemption for a portion of tuition (up to 6 hours).  Out-ot-state students who are enrolled in no more than six hours of course taken via the Internet and not enrolled in on-campus classes are exempt from paying out-of-state fees.  Download the application.
