Service Member Priority Enrollment

Northwood Tech proudly offers eligible Veterans and Service Members the opportunity to receive priority course enrollment, allowing them to enroll in Northwood Tech courses ahead of non-service members.

How to Obtain Priority Enrollment

Submit any one of the following items to your Financial Aid Advisor or the Veterans Certifying Official to document current service or Honorable Discharge:

DD21 4/DD215
NGB22/22A- National Guard report of separation and record of Service
Reserve Credit Report and "Discharge Order & Point Summary"
Letter from Commanding Officer on letterhead with original signature
Current Orders
Letter from County Veteran Service Officer on letterhead with original signature

Once initial eligibility for priority registration at Northwood Tech has been established by Northwood Tech’s veterans certifying official, students will automatically be assigned the ability to enroll early each term going forward.

Important Information Regarding Priority Enrollment

Submission of documents to verify eligibility must be done no later than March 15 for summer and/or fall enrollment and by October 15 for spring term enrollment.
For detailed information on when enrollment appointments are assigned and how to find your specific Northwood Tech enrollment appointment, visit the Open Enrollment page here.
Priority enrollment cannot be extended to spouses and dependents of student veterans.
