Scheduling & Northern on the Web The Tools You Need to Register Successfully

Points to remember  You can create a schedule on your own, if you have the right tools and know how to use them  Your academic advisor is one of your most important resources at college.  Your Catalog lists a lot more than program requirements and is a vital tool in guaranteeing your success in college.

Degree Evaluations These are handy and can give you a very good idea of what classes you still need to complete your major…but they will only get you so far.

Catalogs Again, another great resource—particularly for looking up prerequisites or corequisites to a course…but it is not as user friendly when trying to keep track of requirements that you have met for your degree.

Unofficial Transcripts You can pull these up on Northern on the Web. They are not official, but they can show you what classes you have taken.... What you cannot easily decipher is what courses applied to your degree and what you still need to take.
