The Parent Relations office is here to serve you by "connecting your home to ours".

Our goal is to be a resource for you as you seek to stay in touch with your student, keep up to date with the happenings at Northwestern, and connect with people and departments who can address specific issues and concerns.

We desire to offer practical help and information as you navigate your way through your child's college years, but it doesn't stop there. Each of you have laid an essential foundation for your sons and daughters, and we want to partner with you on all levels as you release them into God's care and watch them build upon that foundation.

It's time for students to prepare for flu season!
It may be another beautiful fall here in Minnesota, but don’t be fooled, flu season is on its way! It’s time for students to be prepared against the virus that plagues many of us each year.

Influenza vaccinations will be offered by the Minnesota Visiting Nurses Association on October 6th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., in Nazareth Hall, first floor, just outside of NWC Health Services. Cost for the vaccination is $24.99. Checks may be made out to MVNA. Some insurance plans will be accepted. Students need to bring their health insurance card or a photo copy.

Questions: Please call Northwestern College Health Services @ 651-631-5246.

*Important to note: this vaccination clinic is for the regular seasonal flu, not the H1N1 virus.
