March News!

I love the response of the king of Judah in 2 Chronicles, chapter 20, when people want to make war against him. He says:

"O our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this great multitude who are coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You."

Nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are on You. Isn't that so lovely? Keep lifting your college decision up to God.

Greetings to all of my admitted students! Happy March! (Can you believe it's already March?! You'll be high school grads and moving onto campus before you know it!)

For those of you who were recently admitted, click here to learn more about this blog and about me, your Northwestern admission counselor.

NEXT STEPS
1. Pay $200 enrollment deposit as soon as possible after being officially admitted. (See full post below.)
2. Submit your housing preferences on theROCK, our student portal, approximately 2-3 days after you've paid your enrollment deposit. (See full post below.) Please note: once your deposit is here, there is no rush to submit housing preferences. You may do so at any time after paying your deposit up until the end of April.
3. Apply for financial aid. (See full post below.) We begin mailing out financial aid award letters beginning the first full week of this month! I recommend you apply as early as you're able.
---NEW!---
4. We will be mailing you a registration packet on March 8th, which will include instructions for completing your pre-registration materials so that you can register for fall classes! These online forms include a health history form, your immunization records, a promissory note, a willful participation form, an academic support policies form, and your Summer Preparation Day request form. The six days you may choose from are April 30, May 26, June 18, July 7, July 20, and August 10. At your Summer Preparation Day, you will register for fall classes with your academic advisor, meet other new Eagles, and meet with your prep coach to make sure you're squared away to come in the fall!

CAMPUS NEWS
Northwestern's spring break is coming up March 3rd-13th. Pray for the mission trip teams of NWC students that will be going out around the country over this time. Pray too for the students who will be headed to their hometowns ... another mission field!

Need help choosing a major? March 31st is our Major Discovery event on campus where you can attend interactive information sessions designed to help you learn about specific Northwestern College majors. Every academic department at NWC will be represented in this special event!

If you need "one last look around" before you make your final college decision, please consider coming to one of our Spring Preview Days-- and in addition, think about setting up an overnight stay in the dorms before or after your visit. That will really help you understand Northwestern's community and residence life!

Can't wait to hear from you! Keep those questions coming my way!
In Christ Jesus,
Jackie Lea
