Panther Access to Web Services / PAWS
Panther Access to Web Services (PAWS) is an online tool that helps students, faculty, and staff manage important school-related information in one place. It’s where students can register for classes, check grades, view their schedules, and handle things like financial aid and billing. Faculty and staff use it to support students and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. PAWS makes it easier to stay organized and access the information you need throughout the school year.
