Information for Enrolling Students

Loan Funds
Student loan funds are available to help finance educational costs. Only United States citizens or permanent residents of the United States are eligible to apply for federal loan funds. Students who wish to apply for federal loan funds must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to Federal Student Aid Programs, available on the web at: fafsa.ed.gov.
 
Housing
For information on housing for graduate students, both on and off campus, please refer to the Graduate Housing website: www.northwestern.edu/gradhousing. The on-campus housing application is available online, but requires a NetID login. If your NetID is not yet activated, please contact the housing office and request an application via email.
 
EmplID
Included in your admission letter (at the bottom of the page) is your seven digit EmplID. Your EmplID is often referred to as your “Student ID Number.” You may be asked to include your EmplID on housing, health record, or other University forms. Your EmplID will remain with you throughout your tenure at Northwestern University.
 
Wildcard
Northwestern Student ID cards are called “Wildcards”. Your Wildcard will allow you to enter university facilities and utilize various services around campus. You may obtain your Wildcard one week before the start of classes. For more information, please visit the Wildcard Office website.
 
Library Access
You will be able to borrow library materials once you enroll in classes. If you need materials prior to enrolling, please consult the library website: www.library.northwestern.edu/circulation/privileges/nu_affiliates.html.
 
Changing Personal Information
If there has been or will be any changes to your personal information (name, address, etc) since you submitted your online application, you will have the opportunity to update your information in our electronic system (CAESAR) once you begin your study at Northwestern.
