The catalog outlines the courses required to complete each major, minor and degree offered by Northwest Nazarene University. The Catalog in place for the first year of a student's enrollment will be the catalog that a particular student will adhere to throughout the completion of the degree. The student has the right to either use their beginning enrollment year catalog or move to the requirements of any other subsequent catalog throughout their enrollment time at Northwest Nazarene University. The student may NOT move to a catalog that was in use prior to their beginning enrollment at NNU. If a student wishes to move to another catalog, other than their starting year catalog, they must request permission with the Office of the Registrar.
