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.
CatalogsAgain, 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.
A Symbiotic Relationship
Use your Catalog with your Degree Evaluation and Transcripts to effectively create a schedule and know where you
stand with your credits.
