Steps to Enroll as a Graduate Student

Enrollment Made Easy

Step 1 Review Courses Being Offered

You are encouraged to review the course offerings for the upcoming semester prior to attempting to enroll. For your convenience you can view the class schedule online at www.nsuok.edu/Schedules.aspx

Step 2 Make Contact With Your Advisor

You should schedule an appointment with your graduate faculty advisor for information about required courses, course sequencing and other information you will need in making the correct selection. Your advisor should give approval of your course selections prior to enrolling.

If you have completed a plan of study, you should verify the courses you are selecting are listed on it. You should consult with your advisor any time you deviate from courses listed on the plan of study. Ultimate responsibility for enrolling in and completing degree requirements rest with the student.

Step 3 Get Connected to NSU !

You will conduct much of your NSU business electronically through goNSU. This is where you will eventually enroll, see your transcript and semester schedule, manage your financial aid, make payments, see your degree plan, etc. You will also be given an NSU email account through which you will receive all formal NSU correspondence. This is how you will connect electronically to everything you need at NSU. To start this process:

Go to the NSU Password Manager and follow the instructions to get your USER ID and Password

Log into your GreenMail account and explore all of your personal email and calendar options. You probably already have emails from NSU waiting for you.

Go to goNSU and log in with your new NSU UserID and Password. This will be your personal portal to access all of the electronic services that NSU has to offer you. Feel free to explore this site before you enroll. If you need help, call the service desk at 918-444-5678.
