Winter Appointment Times

Figuring out your appointment time

To determine your appointment times, you need to know this information:
  1. Total number of credits earned at Northwestern
  2. The academic year in which you began at Northwestern
  3. Last two digits of your student ID number

Step 1: Total number of credits earned or admit year at Northwestern

Undergraduate appointments times are based on the following: To find your place in the chart below, first find your number of completed units.  Next, find how many academic years have passed since you began at Northwestern.  Whichever category is more beneficial is the one you will be assigned. For example, if you have been at Northwestern for 2 academic years, but only have 20 credits, you would register with the group 2.

What group am I in?
appointment time group
Group Full Years at Northwestern Completed units
Group 1 3 or more 33
Group 2 2 to 3 22 - 32.99
Group 3 1 to 2 11 - 21.99
Group 4 Less than 1 less than 11

Step 2: Student ID number

Use the last two digits of your student ID number to determine your registration appointment time.
