The International Student Blog

We know that a lot of you are eager to start studying in the US this spring after having your fall plans affected by COVID-19, so we thought we should let you know about an exciting opportunity to study at one of the Midwest’s Top Public Schools. Northwest Missouri State University would like to welcome international students to apply for the upcoming Spring 2021 semester. The November 1st application deadline is approaching fast and we want you to know everything about what Spring 2021 and the application process will look like.

Northwest’s COVID-19 Response

Northwest has remained mostly on campus this fall and has done an outstanding job of keeping students and faculty safe by implementing rules and regulations to prevent the spread of the virus. The standard mask and 6 foot social distance requirements are in place and, in addition, Northwest has taken measures to ensure that: 

• To-go containers and mobile ordering are available for students who wish to take food from the dining hall and leave.
• Campus dining only allows a limited number of students inside at one time.
• Restrooms on campus are being cleaned more frequently and disinfectant wipes are provided.
• Areas called “Zoom Zones” are around campus for students who need to participate in a Zoom session.
• Symptomatic individuals and those who have come in contact with those individuals will receive a COVID-19 test.
• Bearcat logo face coverings are provided to all students and faculty.

Northwest plans to start its spring semester on Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2021, and to have an end date of Friday, May 7, 2021.
