Records & Registration

The mission of the Registrar's Office is to provide and keep accurate records while maintaining legal and ethical behavior. The office is dedicated to simplifying procedures and helping all students - former, current, and prospective - in a respectful and professional manner.

The office is committed to enforcing the policies set forth by the Board of Regents and Northern State University as well as the core values.
